Thank you for the info. I was working with Edgardo on this. We ended up having to set the SAME hostname on each of the source nodes, as the destination NCM uses for each of its nodes and of course open up the firewall rules so all source nodes can talk to each destination node. This seems to jive with that you explained above. It is a little annoying that we have to have so much open to get this to work and can't have a single point of entry on the NCM to send all this data from one network to another. Not a huge deal in the end though. Thanks again.
