1. A fluid routing plug, comprising:
a body having opposed first and second surfaces, in which the first and second surfaces are joined by an outer intermediate surface; and in which the body has a central longitudinal axis that extends through the first and second surfaces;
a plurality of first fluid passages formed in the body, each of the first fluid passages interconnecting the outer intermediate surface and an axially-blind bore formed in the first surface of the body; and
a plurality of second fluid passages formed in the body, each of the second fluid passages interconnecting the first and second surfaces of the body;
