Ok, I believe that there is an earlier intercept on your virtualusertable.
@virtsite1.net      %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

so that is already taking all mail from virtsite1.net to www.virtsite1.net

Also, I belive that  virtualusertable will map to local users, or local 
aliases.
Therefore, you could create an alias for every user on the Lotus server.

PD: did you re-hash after your changes?
makemap hash /etc/virtusertable.db < /etc/virtusertable
