Ok, that's a specific query (query to a specific station) so should
go through the igate.

Define "network connected instance".  Do you have one Xastir hooked
to the network port of another, or two Xastir sessions running one
serving as an igate, both connected to the INET directly?  Yes,
there's a difference.  Xastir treats the X_spider server ports as
TNC ports, and doesn't gate between TNC's.  It doesn't consider the
X_spider ports to be INET connections.
