Hello Wes!

Oh no questions is stupid.. :)

Well then you are sending inter-zone netmail, fx. i will send you a
netmail, to enscure the netmail is reaching zone 1 fastest, i'm sending it
via 2:2/1..
Whitch is the zone2-to-zone1 gateway.

With that i avoid stations on the way to route the netmail in another way,
now it's routed directly to 2:2/1, and by the INTL line it sends it to the
destanation..

Quite wierd to explain, in programming words.

The dest addr in the packet header is 2:2/1, so the trackers/tossers on the
way thinks it's going for 2:2/1, and then it reach 2:2/1 it look at the
INTL line, ands see what the real destation is, and the packet header is
modified to the real destanation. :) And then gated.

Quite smart actually.

Regards,
Bo
