Oh no - the host stack only has a route to 44... network - there is no
44 IP on the host.

No - it should not be - network rules are being accurately followed
here.
The only way to get to 44... as a FROM IP (without re-writing jnos to
share the host stack) is thru NAT as far as I know.

Oh no no - not one but *maybe* a dozen...?
My life has demonstrated many times that learning from example is quite
effective.
Please don't confuse "not thinking for one's self" with "cut-and-paste"
- and I'll leave automation to developers.
I'm headed for enough examples that learning what is "right for me" can
be done from comparison with what has been "right for several others".
That is why I ask you for examples of what has worked in the past...

Oh come on - only if you include minutia like specific IP numbers do the
options count become truly large.
The sad part in this is that manufacturer and model of equipment does
effect the options available to the user (as in LinkSys Router & Bridge
appliance).

Yup - havin fun.
