Pete and David, We're exploring options at NCEP to add products to the CONDUIT data stream. Would you mind verifying that you are able to connect to the host ldm2.woc.noaa.gov either with ldmping or notifyme from f5 and flood? This host resides at the NOAA operatins center and directly accesses NCEP's new servers, so the products (currently GFS only) being inserted into the queue have NCEP file names rather than the NWS FTP file names that the current CONDUIT products have, so please don't open a feed request yet that would let these duplicate but MD5 unique products escape to downstream sites. The host at WOC isn't a permanent machine yet, so may go up and down. If/when there are new products, we can use the OK/NOT features of the ldmd.conf ALLOW entries to enable you to get products if you wish without passing them on to an unexpecting downstream site. Please let me know if you have problems connecting. Thanks, Chiz
