Joseph, Thanks for your comment - editing /etc/histlns to put aimh01 at the bottom of the list did fix the problem. I'm still not sure why aimh01 was responding, but this does look like a workaround for now. As I add more Aim* historians to replace legacy ones I can see how this problem could re-appear if all aim* historians respond to a broadcast for any tag....
