According to the logic I pasted here and explained:

If 1:229/426 is configured in sbbsecho.ini and 1:229/426.3 is *not* configured i
n sbbsecho.ini, then you should see in your sbbsecho.log file a line similar to 
this one, when processing a packet for 1:229/426.3:

        Routing packet (x) to boss-node 1:229/426
