The x.x.x.214 next hop is the DSL modem. But, even so, my STRCODE traffic gets to the private subnet. As you say below, it keeps looking until something will handle the packet. The LinkSys (it's actually a cable/DSL router) is blocking any WAN access, but is forwarding this packet, based on port, I assume. I thought I had to explicitly name x.x.x.213 for this to work, but apparently not. -snip-
