Hi Don,

re:

The addition of parentheses around a pattern makes the
pattern different syntactically different even though the
net effect is the same.   What I mean is that:

"(.)*" specifies the same set of products as ".*" but the
regular expression parser used by the LDM sees these as being
different.  The net result of this is that each REQUEST is
view as being different so each connection will operate in
PRIMARY mode.  I personally liked the PRIMARY/SECONDARY syntax,
but Steve changed the LDM code making changing the pattern
necessary to force redundant REQUESTs to all operate in
PRIMARY mode.

re:
> I've never seen them, and asking around here hasn't helped.

Please let me know if the above explanation was clear enough.

Cheers,

Tom
