Bob and Anatoli. Maybe the 2nd isn't linked anymore, and maybe the 1st
has it passthrough only working as bridge. Or not, I don't worry with
them or any other.

The possible problem here is a technical consequence, we can set the
area as readonly for direct dnlinks, but some links on the path can
miss this setup (areafix *), reply and talk among them, while get no
answer from any ZC and be annoyed that we "ignore" them. But can be
managed too, suggestions?

Discussions here are most the same we can see repeated in other areas,
I don't see this risk.
