It's exactly what we're doing.  Historically, we've always enrolled all of
our users into Office/400 on machine 'a' and manually added a directory
entry on machine 'b'.  This allows users on both machines to send mail to a
user by name,  and have the AS/400 validate the names (instead of sending
to a default system, and guessing at the spelling of someone's name).

We have machine 'a' set up with SMTP to The Internet.  We enroll all of our
users in the SMTP directory on machine 'a', and manually add directory
entries to machine 'b' at the same time.

We also have directory shadowing turned on to keep things in sync.
