Tom,
I can’t control who connects, but we do have an inbound TPS proc that checks the client hostname/IP Address on messages received by a multi-host connection. It checks against a table of allowed values. If the message is not from an allowed host, it goes to the error database, which triggers a warning to our staff.
The check is very useful in that rare situation where an application team refreshes their test code from production and forgets to change host and port settings. It prevents test messages from hitting our production interfaces.
