Hi, 
 
I need to create multiple connections between the same source and the same 
target something like this: 
 
   __________                    __________ 
  |          |__________________|          |  
  |          |__________________|          | 
  |          |__________________|          | 
  |__________|                  |__________| 
 
 
The Fan router does not work for this requirement. Is there any other 
router that I can use?

If you want a very simple example of an anchor which does this, you can  
look at the RelativeConnectionAnchor which is included in my July 2,  
2003 post ("Contribution: RectilinearHandleRouter and supporting  
classes") on this newsgroup... 
 
Hope this helps,
