 Routing table processing in mbse

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.
