Its really a combination of using the Squish control parameters in the
appropriate way. Most people seem to forget that the commandline parameters
provide subtle control, and yet it is possible to use them in conjunction
with a control file that allows very selective processing, as long as thats
what you want to do. Overall, you may need to perform multiple passes to do
things exactly as you want. 

In addition, you can use the SEND and ROUTE commands to process traffic for
a specific set of nodes, and then the output of those commands is NOT
included in any other ROUTE statement processing that encompass those nodes
within a global statement (EG 4:ALL). However note that this ALL must
happen within ONE Squish operation to work this way.

Very true, few nodes will permit it, but it can certainly be done

Hold on, Zonegating and GateRouting are 2 quite different things, are you
perhaps trying to mix them? Also note that "A ZoneGate" is a
specific system, but "ZoneGating" is the act of moving traffic
between Zones. The first is a Nodelisted system, whereas anyone can perform
the second. In brief - 

GateRouting was primarily used for non-3D aware systems where the Zone info
was not able to be understood and handled correctly. Traffic could be
routed via a Zonegate that ensured the Zone detail was handled correctly
between such systems. Are you SURE you really need to use GateRoute these
days, its highly unusual to find someone using code that is not 3D aware
these days... I have never had to use GateRoute so I can't be sure, but it
sounds like you may be generating your 2D output back into a 3D area and
creating Dups as a result.

Zonegating is simply used to trim Seen-by's for Echomail exporting to
another Zone, where Seen-by's can be duplicated and does not necessarily
relate to using "official" Zonegates at all. ZoneGating reduces
message sizes as well.

Cheers...........pk.
