Well, I would not do it if it were an online system running IMS or CICS relying on a VTAM connection to get data to and fro to the terminals. The rule of thumb says that the server has to have at least the same dp as those it gives service to. If at the same time you get the onlines below VTAM, this may work out (not that I advocate doing this). I think that you will need to look for another way to prevent an outside machine from flooding your VTAM. My network colleague tells me PACING is the answer.
