Samuel,

> I have 2 LDM machines, shu.cup.edu(158.83.1.174) and 
> shu1.cup.edu(158.83.1.171)
> Shu.cup.edu seems to ingest fine, but it doesn't want to feed to a specific 
> IP address.
> 
> I am trying to limit the "ALLOW" section of the ldmd.conf file to only a 
> single IP address (i.e. 158.83.1.171), but the feeding machine (158.83.1.174) 
> won't allow it.
> For example:
> ALLOW   ANY     158\.83\1.\.171\.?$     .*

If the ALLOW entry is what you have, then it needs to be changed to

ALLOW ANY 158\.82\.1\.171

The one you have has the substring "\1." instead of "\.1".

> Will not work with the statement:
> REQUEST ANY ".*" shu.cup.edu
> On shu1.cup.edu (158.83.1.171)
> 
> However I can get the downstream LDM to feed correctly if I specify:
> ALLOW   ANY     ".*"    .*

> This behavior doesn't seem correct/secure.
