[torqueusers] problem with: set queue cfqroute_destinations=cfq@other.host

[Stewart.Samuels at sanofi-aventis.com]

Based on the definition, I'm thinking this is a bit misleading and perhaps we need 2 options. That being, change this option from "from_route_only" to "from_local_route_only" (based on its current definition) and add a second option of "from_remote_route_only" which would allow jobs to be routed from remote systems and NOT from the local server.  What do people think about this idea?

This is the explanation from the pbs_queue_attributes manpage:
          from_route_only
                 When  true, this queue will not accept jobs except when being
                 routed by the server from a local  routing  queue.   This  is
                 used  to  force user to submit jobs into a routing queue used
                 to distribute jobs to other queues based on job resource lim-
                 its.  Format: boolean; default value: disabled.

So it means jobs entering that queue can only come from a local routing queue.
I'm thinking that it should allow jobs from remote queues.
