Spectrum Protect Can not replicate nodes based on policy domain membership

IBM Spectrum Protect Server v8.1.9.300:
Can not replicate nodes based on policy domain membership

Currently, the replicate node command works on node names, lists of node names, wildcards of node names, node groups, or lists of node groups.

We wish to replicate nodes based on policy domain membership, meaning when new nodes are added to a specific policy domain, the would automatically be picked up for node replication.

Nodes within the same policy domain, align their data in like storage pools.
Being able to replicate node data for a policy domain then simplifies the management overhead of 'protect stg' and 'replicate node', as protecting specific pools would mean we can replicate specific nodes in a domain that use that pool.
