I believe that if you put the domains in the relay-domains file
everything
would work fine one domain per line like,
bellsouth.net
innova.net
carol.net
...
then everybody who has an address like xxx.bellsouth.net or
yyy.innova.net
or zzz.carol.net will have access.

so if you do not put their IP address you can have some kind of
wildcard.
for host names at those domain names.

I hope the IP addresses you mention are resolved to host names. are
they?
