It seems - not unusually of course - that you are looking for the easiest solution. This will be true *only* if you can replace your assumed subarea ESCON channel-to-channel with a like-for-like connection between the VTAM subarea nodes so that the DISPLAY NET,STATIONS command has the same output with the "z/10" as with whatever the "z/10" replaced. You will continue to use subarea PATH statements and "home" and "away" CDRMS - possibly along with "liberal" start options - or possibly your installation is antediluvian and has CDRSCs whenever there is a "sniff" of "cross-domain". It's the dreaded PATH statements that are forcing you down that "easy" road. If this isn't possible, sleeves will need to be rolled up! Judging from his responses, Scott Rowe - assisted by Allan Staller and to some extent by Dave Gibney - seems to want you to stay in the VTAM subarea "comfort zone" maybe because he is - and they are - also aware of the PATH statement handcuffs but want also to protect you from APPN. Thus there is some emphasis on contriving to set up channel-to-channel definitions along the lines of my initial suggestion "So my first suggestion is to check whether or not there really is no channel-to-channel capability and, if not, why not.". However, if you really cannot manage to repair the damage caused by not having planned for a replacement for the ESCON-based connections used by the replaced CEC or CECs, you'll need to read - again? - my previous post and go the TN3270E "route" or the APPN/Enterprise Extender "route" - or both.
