The substring "(*" means zero or more occurrences of the metacharacter "(", which is not escaped by a backslash -- rendering the ERE invalid. You indicated that the LDM will not restart if the REQUEST entry is REQUEST HRS "^ISXT40" 10.144.3.80 This indicates a serious problem with the LDM. What are the relevant LDM log file entries?
