Michael,

The problem is that you think there are too many processes?

Each REQUEST entry in an LDM configuration-file results in one downstream LDM 
on the local host and one upstream LDM on the remote host.

I'm not sure I understand this last part.  ".*" is a pattern for matching 
against a product's identifier and "EWXP|FSL2|FSL3" is a feedtype expression 
for matching against a product's feedtype.  They're apples and oranges.

> Thanks again,
