archie.au's real name on ACSnet is "plaza.aarnet.oz.au", and is exporting
the alias "archie.oz.au", rather than the more obvious "archie.au". So you
would be better off using "archie.oz.au".

The reason that your messages are ending up on "mystra.nu.oz" is that it
is the nearest site to your main routing node (metro) that claims routing
knowledge for the region "au".
