Hi Clint, I drove your question into to our inquiry tracking system so the answer will be generally available... re: > I have not yet done my tests to see if temporarily turning off the > feed to School of Mines drops the load average on idd.unl.edu.

The default is to deny connections that are not explicitly ALLOWed in ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf. If you have a blanket ALLOW for '.edu's, this would be difficult since there is no DENY action. Perhaps the best way to do this is to add an entry to your /etc/hosts file that defines the name of the School of Mines machine to something that is not ALLOWed (e.g., to a .com name). What this would do is cause each feed request to be denied, and those would reoccur every minute (so you will get lots of messages in your LOG file). I believe that the denying of the connection would only occur after a restart of your LDM, but I am not positive. We use the inverse of this procedure -- defining a name for a machine that does not have proper DNS -- to ALLOW sites that for some reason can not setup forward/reverse DNS.
