 >> so i have a question then. if there is a node that is "unpublished" or doesnt have a connection information in the

yea that was what i was thinking, i figured it would be a fire and forget to their hub.

 Al> In the case of points you can send it directly to the boss or route it and in the case of a PVT node your only choice is to

yea a point i get route it to their hub/feed.
