Thank you,

I've thought of this but the problem is that money is
required to implement it. The easiest solution would
be to buy more bandwidth and let people backup but
again, money is required.

I'm looking at writing a script that would perform an
nslookup on all nodes that initiate sessions with the
TSM server and make a detrmination if the node is
local or not. If not, the session would be cancelled.

Ughh, there's a lot involved and its not as easy as
management thought. Thanks again...
