If you control all the submit points, you can set (in the submit file, 
or via a schedd transform)

should_transfer_files = no

and the schedd will append && (Target.FileSystemDomain == 
My.FileSystemDomain) to every job's requirements expression.


By default, the schedd will insert the schedd's FILE_SYSTEM_DOMAIN from 
the config file into the job ad, but if you want to be more specific, 
you can put your desired FileSystemDomain into each job with with a 
+FileSystemDomain:

should_transfer_files = no
+FileSystemDomain = "blue"

Then this job would only match machines in the "blue" FileSystemDomain, 
but not do file transfer.
