But *which* router? A router doesn't know that it's the last one. There
may be another one after it that handles the address.

That's when a router declines. Yes, it could perhaps specify a message
in that case, and I'll think about that. But for the "run out of
routers" case, I think the message has to be specified separately. After
all, the final router may have a "domains" setting (for example) and so
would be skipped for some domains.
I could add a separate option this_message_for_run_out_of_routers, I
suppose, for tidiness.
