pts has interactive and source modes which would permit the pts process to cache the up/down information between requests. There is no reason the vos command could not have equivalent functionality which would significantly improve performance in a number of ways. Besides remembering which servers are up/down the same rx connections can be reused and repetitive rx security class challenge/responses can be avoided. I would prefer to see someone work on this approach combined with jhutz's VIOCCKSERV suggestion if a cache manager is installed on the local machine. Jeffrey Altman
