Message Created @ 2-FEB-1990 16:47:01.50 Hi, I'm just installing and starting to try to use PMDF. So far it is sort-of working. The FTCP-DAEMON portion seems to be working just fine. I am having some problems with the local channel not being used. I'm trying to set it up so that we are doing the following: mail for the local cluster (4 nodes) uses the local channel, nodes in .DNET.SEMI.HARRIS-ATD.COM use the decnet-mail channel, nodes in the rest of .SEMI.HARRIS-ATD.COM use the FTCP-DAEMON channel, nodes in .GE.COM use the GE phonenet channel, nodes in the rest of the world use FTCP-DAEMON channel. Every attempt to send something to user@rtpark.rtp.semi.harris-atd.com winds up going to the FTCP-DAEMON instead of the local channel. I'm enclosing a copy of the PMDF.CNF file for your perusal. I would appreciate anyone responding with an explanation of what would clear this up for me. Heres the PMDF.CNF file: ! PMDF.CNF RTPARK.SEMI.HARRIS-ATD.COM ! Written by Bob Boyd 2-Feb-1990 ! !

First of all, the general idea is that anything ending in .HARRIS.COM can be converted into .HARRIS-ATD.COM, right? This is a perfect application for a A%B rewrite; it will make the change and continue the rewrite process. Similarly, you want to let people leave the .SEMI part out of your addresses, right? So another pair of A%B rewrites will take addresses without the .SEMI clause into addresses with the clause inserted, and continue the rewrite. All the nodes on your local cluster should simply rewrite to the official hostname on the local channel. The rest is a straightforward implementation of the actions you specify. I ended up with the following configuration. I'm by no means sure it is exactly what you want, but I hope it helps. Ned ! PMDF.CNF RTPARK.SEMI.HARRIS-ATD.COM ! Written by Bob Boyd 2-Feb-1990 ! !
