Jim is exactly right. Each time an application connects to multi-server it recieves an new connection ID (connid). We wrote a TPS proc that checks the connid of inbound messages. If the TCP/IP address (actually the hostname) of the TCP/IP message matches a table entry for the thread we allow the message to continue. If not, we kill the message and e-mail our support staff.
Since many of our applications “refresh” their test configuration from production, we were concerned about test applications attempting to connect to production engine ports.
