sendmail as a secondary MX

OK, I'm confused. I'm using the exact same configuration for sendmail
on DF 1.1-CURRENT that I had on FreeBSD 4.11, but I'm seeing very
different results.
For my domain bgp4.net, I have nj.bgp4.net set as MX 10 (the primary)
and tx.bgp4.net set as MX 20 (the secondary).
On tx.bgp4.net I am using the stock .mc file, with the addition of some
DNSBLs. I have bgp4.net defined in /etc/mail/relay-domains. I do not
have a /etc/mail/local-host-names.
On FreeBSD 4.11, a mail sent to ciscogeek at xxxxxxxx sent through
tx.bgp4.net relayed over to nj.bgp4.net, just like I wanted. With DF
1.1, tx.bgp4.net accepts the mail locally, and never relays it over to
nj.bgp4.net.
All the config files are the same as they were on FreeBSD 4.11. I did a
make install clean in /etc/mail to remake the .cf file just for the heck
of it. No go.
I'm far from a sendmail expert, so any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Janet
