IBM MQ transmit queue messages not placed on dead letter queue

I currently have an XMIT queue with a SDR channel pointed to a QREMOTE. In a scenario where either the local or remote channels are down, I would like to forward the messages on the XMIT queue to the DLQ. It appears that in this scenario, messages remain on the XMIT queue until the channel is reestablished. Is it possible to do this?

I'm thinking not. From an ibm red paper: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp0021.pdf

A transmission queue is a local queue with the USAGE(XMITQ) attribute configured. It is a staging point for messages that are destined for a remote queue manager. Typically, there is one transmission queue for each remote queue manager to which the local queue manager might connect directly. If the destination is unavailable, messages build up on the transmission queue until the connection can be successfully completed. Transmission queues are transparent to the application. When an application opens a remote queue, the queue manager internally creates a reference to the relevant transmission queue and messages are put there.
