(NY, NY) Lines: 21 What do I do with links which I don't want available to the outside world because they cost me money, but which exist for internal use. As an example, I have a uucp entry for okstate which is only there to serve as the uucp equivalent of anonymous FTP for snarfing kermit stuff. However, I don't want all of New York to use this for mail. Do I report it as DEAD? Of course, the costs are only for the benefit of pathalias; people can still choose to route stuff manually via phri!okstate (Please don't!!). Is there a way to tell my uucp system NOT to forward anything to a particular site unless it originated locally (or, if it originated from any of a set of sites)? -- The opinions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the views of the Public Health Research Institute. {decvax,ihnp4}!vax135!timeinc\ >!phri!roy (Roy Smith) {allegra,rocky2}!cubsvax/
