Well thanks all for the tips and pointing out what I was doing wrong
here.  I've decided to throw the whole thing out the window -- I'll be
pulling the separate load balancer box out of the picture, moving the
installation of Pound to the mail server itself, and just changing
$EXTIP's hostname to be an alias for $MAILSERVER.  Things will be much
simpler, but not nearly as sexy.  I suppose it'll do. :)

Thanks again,
  John
