Can it be used for just the opposite?  I.e. the DR world from leaking into 
production?   This has been an ongoing discussion for us over the years.   We 
have to disable "stuff" like MQ connections, FTP, Connect Direct, etc

We use IP filtering for DR tests where we need to keep the production world 
from leaking into the DR world. It works quite well and can be pretty specific. 
It is strictly a mainframe function.

I think if you use the IP filtering section in this book you should be able to 
accomplish this:

But I would tread carefully - this looks like it could cause more damage than 
the good that it does.

Subject: TCPIP "firewall"

I need to block connections coming from given IP address or whole subnetwork. 
It can be limited to one TCP port.

For example, my z/OS has address 10.1.1.1/24 workstation I want to deny has 
address 10.3.1.1/24 (another subnet) I want the workstation cannot connect to 
10.1.1.1 port 3000. Or cannot connect at all.
As an option I want block any workstation from 10.3.1.nn network.

Answering obvious question: No, I cannot do it on the network router, because I 
don't manage network. I can manage my /zOS configuration. Not to mention 
responsiveness.

Any clue?
