Beginning with version 6.4.0 of the LDM, the PRIMARY and ALTERNATE tags 
may be omitted from the LDM configuration-file.  Given multiple REQUEST 
entries with identical feedtypes and product-patterns, the first entry 
will start a downstream LDM in PRIMARY mode and the other entries will 
start downstream LDMs in ALTERNATE mode.  After one minute, the modes of 
the downstream LDMs will switch as necessary to maximize reception.
