I know that. I thought I made quite clear the issue here:
Internet ---> Router 1 ---> Router 4 ---> Target
Everything upstream of Router 1 is cool. It's the hop between two
routers, on a route =not= advertised to the world, that could cause the
problem. I am only using the private addresses for that one hop. Only
Router 1 knows about this route.
The question, which seems still not to be satsifactorily answered, is...
Can traffic addressed to the target machine get there?
