An ACCEPT entry in the downstream LDM's configuration file will suffice.

You should know that the LDM server doesn't use this "out-of-the-blue" 
transmission mechanism: only the pqsend(1), ldmsend(1), and rtstats(1) programs 
use it. The reason is robustness: in order to ensure reliability, one would 
have to wrap these programs with sufficient error-checking and 
contingency-handling code as to, basically, recreate the LDM server.
