Hi Ben,
It's a trivial overhead to add these extra channels for t2k.org on the
RAL FTS. However, it would be good to hear what the T2K data
distribution model is, and whether the list of SEs that you will be
transferring files to/from is likely to expand from those at QMUL and
the one at VICTORIA-LCG2. How to best configure things may depend on
this.
Either we can discuss this at the Tier-1 Experiments Liaison meeting, as
suggested, or you can send us your requirements offline.
