John,
Yes, you should be able to send encapsulated data via amprgw and get the
correct replies, but only for specific BGP announced and registered
subnets.
Arbitrary 44net targets not in those BGP announced networks are NOT
forwarded via amprgw, and only DNS registered hosts will be able to use
the gateway (as you correctly assume).
Hosts with no DNS entries can only use the IPIP mesh system, since there
is usually no check for that criteria on the gateways, and any subnet
match is accepted.

Brian,
I've been trying to follow these discussions, but am not sure I understand
how it should work.
Should I be able to send encapsulated traffic for a BGP connected 44
address
to
amprgw.sysnet.ucsd.edu and have it de-capulated (if that is a word!)
and
sent over the Internet to the target host?
Would return packets follow the normal gating rules, and only be
encapsulated and send over a tunnel to me if my address is in the DNS? Or
would having sent a packet somehow enable a reverse path without a DNS
Entry?
If I have to have a DNS entry for this to work, would it be possible for
you
to add a DNS entry for 44.131.56.7 host
nottm.g8bpq.ampr.org so I can
continue testing?
Thanks,
John G8BPQ
