Donna,

I'm assuming that your new ^WANAF products will not matc the request line you
show below from sasquatch as "^W.......-FNM" .

That is, you didn't mention what the full pattern of the new products will
be that or -TAM etc. 

Anyhow, you can modify the request line to be the "^[DSW]" pattern.

You could use SPARE with ldmsend for testing as well.

Since sasquatch allows dc-ldm2 to request ANY ".*", and
dc-ldm2 does request EXP ^[DSW]" from sasquatch, then you do have the pssibility
that they would come back to dc-ldm2, but this is not likely to be
a problem given that those machines are close so that you won't have long 
delays.
That is, you will get them offered back to you, but you will reject them as 
duplicates.
Over long distances however, that is what we wanted to avoid since hosts that 
have latency
and can get them offered back after they have already scoured them out of their 
queue.

If you suspect that you will have a problem with getting them back to dc-ldm2 
from
sasquatch, then I would suggest adding the "Not" pattern to sasquatch's allow 
line for dcldm2.
