So I'm trying to create a pig racecourse in the Nether. First step is getting some pigs into the Nether. I get 3 pigs following me, I pass through portal, and there's 1 pig in the Nether. I go back, and the other two are gone.
I grab 2 more pigs, this time I wait to see them blink out, then pass through portal. Neither is there. Rinse and repeat.
I've now lost 6 pigs. They are not in Over or in Nether. They are vanished. Of the 7 I've led to the portal, only 1 is in the Nether.
What did I do right to get the one pig to transfer, but wrong on the other 6? I just want one more pig in the Nether, dangit!

Battle not with creepers, lest ye become a creeper, and if you gaze into the ravine, the ravine gazes also into you.
Is this on a Dev version of CraftBukkit server? I believe there was a bug where entities entering portals were vanishing in CraftBukkit.
In ssp I was just putting trap doors on the sides of nether portals and leaving the trap doors up, so that they immediately fall 2 blocks when they step off the portal (so they can't get back in the portal) and when i use the portal myself i can drop the trap door and use it as a step.

Not an option.
Oh yeah, a ghast blew up the netherrack right under where I stored the one pig who did make it. Cooked his chops through the cobble floor. Good times.
I am "told"... they can only cross thru the portal from the side where you are. ie: once you step in they no longer will.
and.
Maybe you could use water flow to push them into the portal.
good luck. i hope to do similar type things and have been asking around.
