Assuming that all jobs are coming from condor_submit on a given submit 
machine, and not, say python, the easiest way to do this is to define an 
attribute that condor_submit will put in all jobs submitted from a 
particular machine:

So, in the config file on the submit machine, add (changing 
IsSpecialSubmitMachine to something more meaningful for your site)


IsSpecialSubmitMachine = true

SUBMIT_ATTRS = $(SUBMIT_ATTTS) IsSpecialSubmitMachine


Then, on all the execute nodes, set the START expression to mention 
this, like so

START = IsSpecialSubmitMachine

You'll need to condor_reconfig or restart the execute machines for this 
to take effect.
