Maybe I'm missing something here.
This is not a DNS problem but a sendmail configuration problem.

Can't you just edit the sendmail.cf file:
# macro L defines the "local domain" to which you connect directly for SMTP mail
DLmydomain.com

# SMTP relay for unresolved @ addresses
DSfirewall.mydomain.com

I know this works on HP-UX 9.0X but I'm a bit new to FreeBSD so I haven't tried
it.
