   Hello All!   
      
   I have a few AKA's listed in the nodelist as I am the host for 2:25.   
      
   This means that I have recorded the following :   
      
   2:25/0  as its in the nodelist for region 25 UK and Ireland   
   2:250/0    Ditto  for UK   
   2:263/0    Ditto  for Ireland   
      
   and two for new sysops to get through as :   
   2:25/999 and 2:25/9999  I should have also used 2:250 with these two values    
   but   
   as I have issues using what I do use have not done so.   
      
   Now the issue is if anything gets generated from where ever including within   
   this system if any comes in and as I cannot put these two addresses (2:25/0    
   and   
   2:25/0) into it as the routing system only plays with down/up links it ends up   
   as a loop going between my main routing to Ward at 2:0 before coming back when   
   my system calls itself creating a very large loop.   
      
   The routing table looks like this :   
      
   19. ROUTING TABLE   
      
      1.  1:317/3                   Direct      1:317/3@fidonet   
      2.  1:All                     Route to    1:3634/12@fidonet   
      3.  2:240/1120                Direct      2:240/1120@fidonet   
      4.  2:25/All                  Default     0:0/0   
      5.  2:250/All                 Default     0:0/0   
      6.  2:263/1                   Route to    2:263/1@fidonet   
      7.  2:263/5                   Route to    2:263/5@fidonet   
      8.  2:301/1                   Direct      2:301/1@fidonet   
      9.  2:371/52                  Direct      2:371/52@fidonet   
     10.  2:All                     Route to    2:292/854@fidonet   
     11.  3:All                     Route to    2:292/854@fidonet   
     12.  4:All                     Route to    2:292/854@fidonet   
      
   You can see that traffic for 2:25 and 2:250 are set to Default hence   
   possible/probable cause.   
      
   So without fixing the way the routing table system works should I remove my   
   AKS's for 2:25/0 and 2:250/0 and will it cause any other issues ?   
      
   This issue does not happen often but does happen so would like to fix it as it   
   can cause issues for not only me and my uplink and produces odd traffic from   
   the original source of the netmail - maybe ? such as an address at 4:490.
