During those 200 test msgs form iMS to the outbound gateway, Steven said he 
had 130+ errors like this:

>(172.16.2.49)

The ip is important because that�s not the ip of the gateway but a Steven�s 
load balancing box, a RAD Linkproof, I think.  The traffic doesn�t pass 
through the box. The resolver in the iMS box queries DNS for an A record, 
and the Linkproof box, delegated with authority for that child zone, 
returns a different ip based on it�s estimate of which of the two outbound 
gateways is less busy.  I have no idea how the RAD box polls the 2 gateways 
to determine busy-ness.

Does the 172.16.2.49 mean iMS�s tcp stack saw that error when talking to 
that ip?

If so, then that�s a 2nd pb in this setup, where the first one is the 
extreme slowness of the SMTP sessions between the iMS and gateway boxes.
