  It depends on your configuration.

You can place it before or after.

Because you dont want to authenticate inbound calls, you can have a 
simple if statement that checks if the user is not local and alias 
exists, then relay to that alias.

Not real code:

if(not_from_local){
     if(alias()){
         relay;
     }
}
