I've given this some more thought since the original postings and agree with
you.  It doesn't seem right to me to have the CM establish a connection to
something that is not the specified destination, under the assumption that
whatever is being connected to is a gateway.  I think it would be better for the
application to determine that the actual destination is on a different subnet,
locate the gateway, and issue a connection request to the gateway.
