Back in the DOS days, there was a utility called (I think) NetMgr, which was
able to do just that.  I used to use it to allow my GIGO gateway to handle
multiple zones, by giving each zone a virtual gateway address.  NetMgr would
see messages addressed to those virtual addresses and redirect them to the real
(Fidonet) address of the gateway.  For incoming netmails (from email). it would
replace the Fidonet source address with the correct AKA for the destination
zone.

I don't know if there's anything like that around now.
