[comp.mail.sendmail] questions

I'm trying to get sendmail on my DECstation 3100 to understand domain
addresses (my registered domain is idsila.com), and I think I can use
pathalias to translate the domain addresses (ie, something like 
xxxx.idsila.com) so that sendmail can forward the mail.  But I don't
know how to get sendmail to use pathalias.  There is no info on this
in the man pages for sendmail and pathalias.

Also, we have an Ethernet LAN setup with the DS3100, a VAXstation 3100, and
a MicroVax.  Sendmail seems to handle decnet address such as
nodename::user easily, but I want to be able to *forward* incoming 
mail with addresses that may not know that these nodes are accessed via decnet,
ie, either translating user@nodename.idsila.com --> nodename::user or
..uunet!hammer!nodename!user --> nodename::user (hammer is the DS3100)..

Couldsome sendmail guru please shed some light?
