Unfortunately, none of these options is very suitable (see below). We are planning to modify the ldm.h and ldm.x file to add the feedtype, so that we can restrict data from the feeder machines.

We are trying to restrict the outside machines from getting the data from the feeder machine. The request statement would be on the outside machine side -- not on the feeder side. > > - use the allow on the downstream nodes. > > - seperate the data into the EXP and SPARE feedtypes then only have an > allow for one of them to the downstream sites. Unfortunately, allow only restricts by free type -- not with a pattern. I need more than two feed types ... like 3 - 5.
