You specified a response location of 'defined-agent' and the agent id of 
'001', so yes, this response will trigger *on* agent 001, regardless of 
which agent generated the alert.  

Working as written, if not as intended.

A location of 'local' would cause the ip to be blocked on the agent that 
the IP contacted.  A location of 'server' would cause the server to drop 
the IP, regardless of which agent was contacted.  'all' would cause all 
active agents to drop the IP if any agent generates the alert.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't turned on active-response 
at my site yet-- primarily because it would be really helpful if I could 
set a location of "defined-group", and allow me to specify a group of 
servers that that response would run on.  Perhaps for 3.x?

Looking at the examples in the documentation, it's a bit ambiguous, and I 
can see how you misinterpreted it.
