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.

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
