Thank you Steve ; Your answer as well as KC1KCC’s are spot on.
It is frustrating to ask the question and be told simply “you need a server” without explaining why a LOCAL: server is required. Part of the problem I find nowhere in the ASL WIKI’s any pictorial examples of a system design and even worse the software libraries are like greek to non-IT folks.

I have been a RF guy slightly longer then I have been a IT guy and I communicate with both sides just fine. It seems you don’t understand the word server. Yes, AllStarLink has a bunch of them. Google has a bunch of them. Amazon has a bunch of them. A server “serves” something to a client.
From [https://allstarlink.org/getstarted.html]
"Our architecture provides for 2 organizational entities: 'Servers' and 'Nodes'.
A 'Server' is a computer system at a particular location. On it there may be one or more 'Nodes'.
A 'Node' is a single radio system. There may be more then one 'Node' on a particular 'Server' but most of our users just have one 'Node' attached. A 'Node' may be set up in several different ways. It may be a full-duplex repeater system or several different varieties of simplex operations (a conventional-type transceiver), or a 'hub' which has no radio hardware connected to it whatsoever."
In the case of AllStarLink, YOU need to build a server. This server runs the programs YOU need to run ASL. Your RTCM needs to connect to YOUR server. You can add a second RTCM to YOUR server. You can connect a third RTCM to YOUR server. And so on, and so on.

This is why RF guys and
IT guys cannot communicate.
ASL has servers.
My question was, simply
why do my two RTCM’s need me to provide another server if
