-
- You need to create an option file named PMDF_ROOT:[TABLE]channel_OPTION.;
- where "channel" is the name of the channel (e.g., "bit_blah"). In this
- option file place the option:
-
- OPTIONS=W=
-
- This will cause BN_MASTER to use the qualifier /OPTIONS="W=".

-
- I have no idea. Perhaps Ned knows.

-
- To make this specific to one host, make the rewrite rule for that particular
- host use a bit_xxxxx channel (where xxxxx is whatever you want it to be barring
- duplications) and then, for that channel, set up an option file with the
- OPTIONS=W= entry.
