Hello guys! How do I configure my LB node to [effectively] be an SPV node?

The v4 client adds a fetch-block-hashes command (i.e. bx fetch-block-hashes -t 100000) where you can get a properly ordered list of transactions in a block. If you needed to generate a merkle proof for a particular tx, you could use that result. This new command does work against version3 servers if you wanted to try it: 
/bx fetch-block-hashes -t 100000
hashes
{
    hash 8c14f0db3df150123e6f3dbbf30f8b955a8249b62ac1d1ff16284aefa3d06d87
