Maybe.  Make a local map that gets added to the pathalias input, consisting
of (I assume mjbtn is the machine you're having problems with)
mjbtn	local1(COST),local2(COST),local3(COST)

If the local machines connect to each other, you could also have, say,
local1	local3(COST)
so the path to local3 might be local1!local3!user if you prefer that.

psuhcx has some connections which it doesn't advertise in the maps, but there's
a local paths file which lists those connections.  Works well.
