Ganesh Murthy commented on DISPATCH-803:
----------------------------------------
I talked to [[email protected]] about this and this is what we are proposing -
Add a new attribute called *defaultDistribution* to the *router* entity. This
attribute is optional and will default to *balanced*. It can have a value of
*forbidden* (we will introduce a new distribution called *forbidden*)
{noformat}
router {
mode: standalone
id: Router.A
defaultDistribution: forbidden
}
{noformat}
If a sender or receiver, whose source/target address is not explicitly defined
in the router config file (or via qdmanage), is trying to attach, it would be
refused if the defaultDistribution is set to forbidden
> refuse attach to undefined addresses

> At present, if you attach to an address in the router whose semantics have
> not been specifically defined, you get balanced message routing semantics.
> It would be useful to be able to configure the router such that it would
> refuse links whose source/target was not explicitly defined. E.g. by being
> able to configure the default semantics to be of type 'invalid' (or anything
> similar). (Being able to explicitly blacklist certain addresses might also be
> nice, but is a more exotic use case I think).
> Messages sent through an anonymous link to these 'invalid' addresses would be
> rejected.
