   Well ummm.. why would you have a feed of the SAME echo from different nodes????   
      
   I can see if echo a is an echo on my system on not fed via NAB so nodes come   
   to me to get it... BUT why would they also want to say add binkd as well??   
      
   Especially in 2016, where for the most part the delay is the cycle on which a   
   node runs their exporting process...and/or TZ for the users.
