	You could change your firewall system so as to silently redirect 
all outgoing SMTP sessions to the BSD/OS server and only allow SMTP 
connections from the BSD/OS server to pass through.  Then you 
wouldn't need to make any other changes on the BSD/OS server in this 
area.

	However, this is totally unrelated to the DNS or BIND.  I'd 
encourage you to find a newsgroup or mailing list that is specific to 
your hardware platform, or one that is oriented towards the SMTP MTA 
that you're using, and ask for further assistance there.
