Elizabeth,
It sounds like you have a different configuration than what I was thinking. My understanding was this:
A->B->C
Or
C1
|
A->B->C2
|
C3
But the only tcp/ip protocols would be inbound A and C outbound.
1. Message goes from A xlate to B outbound. Source connection is A.
2. B outbound “OVERs” mesage to B inbound, but still has Source connection of A. To remedy looping, change SOURCECONN to B before the OVER.
3. Now B will xlate/route to appropriate Cs.
4. However, for B routes to work, A must have the same routes. (This may be due to not finding the correct way of routing from B).
This configuration can be used for more complicated routing, where you can create a “traffic circle,” but there needs to be a good reason for doing so, obviously.
