This is actually my problem.  The MIDs on my network are all being
generated by the clients and not by leafnode.  If it were being done by
leafnode I would simply configure leafnode to use the RHS as

   for-posting.goldmark.org

and all would be fine.  But since the clients are generating MIDs, nothing
in leafnode's configuration will help.

But I need to configure my system so that all clients pick up something in

  *.goldmark.org

yet the particular hosts that the clients run on are on a private network.
The hosts on the private network do need to resolve on and only on that
network.

I concur.  MIDs of xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are a bad thing.  I am
pleased that leafnode developers are working to prevent them.
