Have you tried putting the hostnames in /etc/hosts?

Maybe you can configure local DNS with two domains, one which is the
hostname of your client and one which is the hostname of the
smarthost. (Something like client.company1.com and
smarthost.company2.com.)
The domains probably need A and NS records.
Then make the local DNS the first one in resolv.conf.
