When i am connected and i amusing the web trans i have noticed that the echolink stations that are connected node numbers do not match the Echolink nodes on the echolink website… Could some one help me out with that
Do they have an extra 3 and some zeros in front of the correct node number?

If you're not connecting directly from the droid/samsung/iPhone/??? handset to the node and going through a proxy, you are picking up the proxy node number rather than your own (even though , since you authenticate to the proxy, the intermediate node is what actually makes the connection to the end point). That's what Echolink sends out; app_rpt is only displaying what the Echolink software sends it, so, it's not an app_rpt problem.
Just demoed it here to see what's going on while looking at a tail -f on my asterisk messages file. Connected via a public proxy (which may change from time to time, even from handset to handset standing next to each other...just did it here on my node with an iPhone and android something or other...two apps, two handsets, two different node numbers...then connected directly with my iPhone...and it picked up my proper number, not the proxy node number...) It's not that big of a deal. I don't announce Echolink connections when they connect...I'm more concerned with the Allstar nodes correctly reporting than people driving by aimlessly connecting through Echo.
app_rpt is NOT a native Echolink application, so, it depends on downloading the authenticated node list on a regular basis (every 5 minutes iirc, so as not to overload the echolink servers and probably get Jonathan's shorts in a twist...) instead of interactively authenticating.
The proxies are always there (well, as much as anything that is run by volunteers...), so, they're in the list more often than not, which is why you can start the app on the handset, authenticate to a proxy, and almost immediately get connected to an Allstar system versus connecting directly and getting an 'unauthorized' reply when you try and connect to an allstar node.
IF you're using a proxy, you have no guarantee that you will get the same one each time, or ever get to a proxy to begin with.
So...why is this a concern?

In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.
Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
Sent from my MacBook Pro.
When people connect with a proxy (and that includes all smartphone apps) the number that shows up is likely to be bogus.
It may be the node number of the proxy server, or app gateway, but I don’t think you can count on that either.
When people connect to my node using a smart phone I generally do not hear any node number just " " connected.
