Which IP version was used to enqueue a mail is indipendent from the
IP version used to relay a mail. Also for most cases dual stack just
works(tm) when using hostnames with A and AAAA records and use "listen on"
with interface name.

I don't understand what what exactly is the problem. Can you share your
config and a short explanation what you want to achive? Some logs
showing the problem could also help.

The host option of action relay takes a table. So you can simply specify
multible relay-urls with something like:
> { smtp+tls://hosta.example.com , smtp+tls://hostb.example.com }
