  Use Multi_Server. There are many ways to get the IP, via Meta Data, Global, etc.

  Robert,
  
  I think that the IP address you get is AFTER connection has occurred (and possibly even after a message has been delivered).
  
  If your intent is to control access – this is probably not the way to do it.
  
  If you just want to be able to indicate who you received a message from, etc. than this will work fine.

  There is nothing that says the message must be processed after seeing who sent it

  Charlie,

  The global is client_list
  
  There is also a file created in the process directory: .cli

  Robert,
  
  What release of Cloverleaf(R)?
  
  Do you mean you are having an issue actually getting a connection or identifying who is connected?

  Getting a connection. “Works” with tcp (connection established/status shows # connections etc..)
  
  but not with PDL…..no indication that the engine even knows that I have specified multi-server ???? looking at eo etc…..
