   The auto routing can really simplify things!   
      
   You are correct there is a problem with direct flag where it is not routed   
   directly to the node - the flag does not override anything..   
      
   It has been a while so my memory is foggy but I think the reason this happened   
   is because there was no way to specify the direct flag on a per message level   
   within Mystic when sending Netmail. It is either every single netmail in the   
   base gets direct or none of them do - which is a problem that needs to be   
   resolved first.  Users should be able to per-message direct a Netmail if they   
   meet a specific ACS level configured.   
      
   Once that part is done then the tosser needs to override any auto routing and   
   send it direct.   
      
   One challenge I could use suggestions on for the community is what happens   
   when a netmail is flagged direct and there is no nodelist entry or the entry   
   is there but the system doesn't answer or doesn't have an IP address/hostname   
   etc.   
      
   ... There is an exception to every rule, except this one.
