I suspect the solution to this would be a political/technical one. If the "powers that be" within Fidonet established a single "interzone routing hub with all the procedural and technical issues that go along with that, and pushed out a requirement/advisory that all FTN networks could/should set up default inter-zone routing via that hub, it could make it all possible.

If you sent a netmail to a node in Z21 via 1:153/757 it would be routed
to one of the hubs in Z21 and from there go to the destination node.
It depends on whether the node you route the mail to has links in Z21.
I'm late to this thread but speaking in terms of Zone 21 the Fido HUB I run 3:770/1 has links to Zone 21 so any fsxNet netmail from Fidonet is welcome to be routed via that Zone 3 HUB. I'd also welcome links between 3:770/1 and other systems in Zones 1-4 to help build this routing resilience out further.
