ok, here's how i'd do this...

; global section - these settings do not change
; thru the events
route-to 1:275/311 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* 5:* 6:*

; the non-event event - runs all the time when no
; other event is running
schedule {at} *
hold 1:275/312.1

schedule A *
hold 1:275/312.1
poll 1:275/311

; end of route.fd


since your routing never changes, set it once at the top of the file... you
don't have to unhold a system if it is qualified... a poll statement
explicitly unholds mail for a system... the * on each schedule line
qualifies mail to all systems...
