Ryan,

You need to use an option that will cause listening servers to be listed in 
order to see the LDM server.  You can also restrict the listing to just TCP.  
Unfortunately, the syntax for these actions are non-standard.

Those periods should be escaped with a backslash.  Remember, the last field is 
a regular expression.

Ah ha!

Sounds like the right thing to do.
