Jessica,

Yes, but it will not be implemented for awhile.  There are some
possibilities, 

- only have the data the you want to distribute to outside machines on the
feeder machine.  The can be done with pattern in the request line in the
ldmd.conf file.

- use the allow on the downstream nodes. 

- seperate the data into the EXP and SPARE feedtypes then only have an
allow for one of them to the downstream sites.
