Erik,

Your on the right track but you need to adjust the scenarios based on the fact
that the two products are different and, therefore, their MD5 checksums are 
different;
therefore, the existence of one in the queue won't cause the other to be 
rejected.
Thus, your first scenario is more correct this way:

1. LDM-A receives file-version1 in queue from CPNRS.
LDM-A saves it to disk.

2. LDM-A receives file-version2 in queue from CPNRS.
LDM-A overwrites file-version1 on disk with file-version2.

3. LDM-A clears file-version1 from queue to make room
for more products.

4. LDM-A receives file-version1 from LDM-B. LDM-A
overwrites file-version2 on disk with file-version1.

5. LDM-A receives file-version2 from LDM-B, but since
it still has file-version2 in queue, this gets rejected.

6. LDM-A clears file-version2 from queue to make room
for more products.

*End Result: LDM-A ends with file-version1 on disk.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
