[LDM #AET-785898]: primary/alternate

Karen,

Hmm...  Would you please send me the relevant REQUEST entries in the
downstream LDM's configuration-file.

I think you got it.  Because the product-queue will not allow a duplicate
product to be inserted, a downstream LDM can determine its success
rate at inserting products into the queue.

> Is only one of the upstream boxes the PRIMARY at a time?

Generally speaking, yes.  But because the downstream LDM-s are completely
independent of one another, it is possible to have multiple PRIMARY
feeds for a short period of time.  One can also have all  feeds in 
ALTERNATE mode.  Such situations are unstable, however, and will
quickly resolve themselves.

Amen!  :-)
