[Xastir] does CWOP filter get new DW stations?

[Eric Germann]

Here's sort of a (dumb) question:

I use javaAPRSSrvr locally to aggregate all my APRS traffic from a 
144.390 digi, a weather digi and two Telpac's for Winlink, as well as 
Xastir.  This server then establishes ONE bidirectional connection to 
the *.aprs.net servers.  If I wanted to bring in a feed from the CWOP 
servers, how do I configure a readonly simultaneous upstream to go along 
with the aprs ones?   Basically, I want to aggregate it in the local 
instance, so I can filter, db it, etc, but NOT gate CWOP servers back to 
APRS-IS?

Thoughts?
