[AWIPS #EIF-716251]: Cave Firewall

>Can you please tell me what all firewall exceptions we need to have in

The IP you should be using is the following: 149.165.157.40. It shouldn't 
change. You probably will need both port 9581 and 9582. It's hard to say what 
other configurations are needed without more detail on your current firewall. 
Are you doing outbound filtering and using exceptions? Try with that 
information and let me know if it is working correctly.

This has been updated in our latest AWIPS release which will be available 
tomorrow morning.
