I've seen a problem with ATIWs and gateways, if the NBP lookups to the zone
which the ATIW is in is sent to a gateway and that gateway resends it
using a type 1 (short) DDP packet, the name listener in the ATIW seems to reply
to the gateway, rather than the requester address included in the NBP
packet.

Look for the NBP request and it's response, who is it sent to?

Fortunately my gateway code has an option that lets you configure it to only
generate type 2 (long) DDP packets.
