OK, just so long as you recognize that specifying ANY for any
datastream could, depending on who you are feeding from, end up with
you receiving over 3 GB/hr of data.

It is not currently possible to create a new feed type, but you could use
the EXP feed type.  I recommend taking a look at the man page for pqinsert
to see some ideas on inserting products into your LDM queue so they
could be sent to downstream sites.

>Thanks again,

No worries.
