I don't think it's possible to avoid that. Which server mail is sent to
is a function of DNS, not mail server configuration. The only way an
MTA has of knowing where to send a piece of mail is by looking up an MX
record for it. It can only look up based on domain. DNS does not know
anything about users and should not.
So. Your only real option is to have a single mail server accepting
mail and then distribute it to other servers. This does not fix your
bandwidth problem. But, with a little research you can find one of
several ways to use the primary mail server only as a way to accept
inbound mail and then redistribute it to any one of several other mail
servers based on multiple criteria.
