The above message contained the following:

I think the above entry would be more properly written as

    ACCEPT EXP sql_sequence.*\.gz ^12\.111\.57\.

This would allow the LDM to accept, via the HIYA mechanism,
data-products of feedtype EXP whose product-identifiers start with
"sql_sequence" and end with ".gz" from hosts whose IP addresses start
with "12.111.57.".

The HIYA mechanism is used to send data-products by the programs
rtstats(1), pqsend(1), and ldmsend(1).  It is not, however, used by
the LDM server (which uses the FEEDME mechanism) so you might have
difficulty setting up such a system.  I therefore suggest that you
investigate the DDNS solution (with which I'm unfamiliar).
