Hi Lysanias, First, it was good to talk to you yesterday! Second, I just wanted to finish off a thought that I started to express during yesterday's WebEx: If I were faced with the task of (possibly) consolidating feed REQUESTs to lessen system load, I would first try to determine the full set of upstream machines (by IP or by name) as follows: <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm grep -i ^request etc/ldmd.conf | grep <feedtype> | awk '{print $4, $3}' | sort In your case, <feedtype> would be replaced by ANY, EXP, FSL3, or WMO The listing will show if there are multiple REQUEST lines for the specified feedtype to the same upstream machine. If there are, the candidates second parameter listed will show the extended regular expressions for the products that could be put into a single REQUEST line.
