No. The only way to do that is to make a local change to BITEARN NODES (which causes LISTSERV to rebuild its topology files), but what you want to do is change BITEARN NODES *globally*, ie not just tell your server that there is a new link but tell all the other servers about the link so that they stop routing files the wrong way. And the only way to do that is to update BITEARN NODES. Eric
