The domains are not defined under mydestination, they are defined under
virtual_alias_domains. So it sounds like the fallback_transport may not work
for us. Is there any other way to accomplish that same scenario?

The "fallback_transport" setting is a feature of the local(8)
delivery agent, when it finds no alias or local user matching
the localpart of the email address.
If all the problem messages are for a domain in mydestination,
and fail to find a matching "alias" in local delivery, then
indeed fallback_transport might do the trick.
