As Blair said, you probably could modify the COMPRESS variable to do 
this.  But you lose the "almost realtime" aspect of Orca doing it this way.

I use the following script on my Orca server to PULL the data from my 
remote servers.  You notice I said PULL and not PUSH.  I let the remote 
server simply collect the data - it shouldn't be their responsibility to 
PUSH data to the Orca server.  What's happens if the Orca server is down 
?  Using a PULL configuration, this greatly simplifies the data transfer 
requirements for error detection - IMHO.

better then a :

    # Just for reference, assuming a MINIMAL data transfer of only deltas 
on the

seconds per

    # 10 minutes. Important to note this because the crontab running this
    # script runs every ten minutes.

done
