I think the input box (several MIDI inputs to one MIDI output) is a Merge box. I think you're correct for the other side; one MIDI input to several MIDI outputs is a Thru box. You might look at a MIDI patchbay like the MOTU MIDI Express XT, MOTU micro Express, MIDIMan Midisport, etc. They are considerably more powerful than a simple Merge/Thru operation. You can selectively route and filter, for instance. I use an old MOTU MIDI Express XT Serial/Parallel box and I really like it.
