How about ... rather than pushing the data out to Igate through
APRS-IS, have a new server that provides a "port 14580 compatible" 
stream of Echolink node status updates. Then my igate could 
connect to it with a suitable filter expression (as well as connecting
to the core or tier2 server) and send it to RF.

This could run on the Echolink core, since they're the ones who
should be interested in providing the data.

aprs4r will support multiple IP connections; I don't know about
other igate implementations.
