Someone able to help me out on the subject of routing in BBBS?

My situation:

Running OS/2 Warp 4 fp 14+
Running a FTN mailsystem with Binkley/FMail/GoldED I'd like to change to BBBS.
I managed to convert (kind of...) the outbound
Setting up the nodes in External.BBS puzzled me a bit

I do have points with 3 akas each; main akas are in LifeNet (zone 77) second 
akas in FidoNet (zone 2) and most of them still have another (old) aka also in 
FioNet (also zone 2).
Now I'd like to route a point's mail destined for any of their Fido akas via 
their LifeNet aka. Reading the docs I found out to give the respective Fido 
akas a ! flag and put the Fido akas of each point in the Route column of their 
LifeNet aka like this:

; nodes                 pw  pw  pw pw   grp           fl  P  Route
77:310/211.10      -      -     -     -      ABDGP     -  2   2:286/207.10 
2:280/6207.10
2:280/6207.10      -      -     -     -      NM           !  2
2:286/207.10        -      -     -     -      NM           !  2

Running BBBS Bogus D with a setup like this gives me this:

77:310/211.10 <- 2:286/207.* 2:280/6207.*

How come?
I really don't like to all mail for all Fido akas to that one point...
Or is there a better way to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
