Very few exchanges place any restriction upon the private commercial
arrangements between participants, any more.  There are a few which
actively promote transit use, like ExchangePoint.

You might be better served by simply compiling a list of exchanges you'd
actually like to be at, and then checking to see if they have any policies
which preclude what you want to do, and then checking those to see whether
they're actually enforced, or whether those policies are on their way out.
