Create a DNS zone for each of these domains on that subnet. Add the appropriate MX records for these zones. Then on the mail servers, point them to the DNS server hosting the zones.

So for example, let's say you have 10.0.0.1 as a domain controller with DNS server services installed, and you have two domains, domx.com and domy.com. The mail server for domx.com is at 10.0.0.2 and for domy.com is 10.0.0.3. On 10.0.0.1, create zone for domx.com, and add the mx as 10.0.0.2. Do the same for domy.com. Now make sure that 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3 point to 10.0.0.1 as their DNS server.
