route-to is only for routing in-transit netmail... you need something like 
netmgr to rewrite the destination like might be done if you were on vacation 
and wanted your mail re-addressed to your point that you have on your laptop 
with you...

forward-to and forward-for are also for in-transit netmail, IIRC... you use 
them to determine which systems you will forward mail to/for...

 PH> Only one way to find out I guess. :-)

true... and the docs are also very helpful... pages 119-121 should have the 
detailed information you seek ;)
