SYMPTOMS
========

Address spaces that are added or modified on a site connector that connects two
replicated sites will not appear in the Gateway Address Routing Table (GWART) or
Site Addressing Routing list.

CAUSE
=====

This is by design. Address spaces on a site connector are only used if the sites
being connected are not replicated. After the sites are replicated, all of the
address spaces on the site connector (except for Local/Subsite restricted
spaces) are ignored, and the remote site's replicated GWART is used to define
the address spaces that the remote site supports.

RESOLUTION
==========

X.400 Connector address spaces are not limited by directory replication and can
be implemented in lieu of the site connector. The additional address space can
then be defined for the X.400 Connector.
