RE: LDM feed problem

Apparently, ns2.rutgers.edu was the authoritative name and ldm.rutgers.edu 
was a cname.  Then at some point this week ns2.rutgers.edu was put on a 
different machine, given a new IP address/DNS registration and 
ldm.rutgers.edu assumed the authoritative name for 165.230.4.96.

Glad it is working now.

I have not done anything with NEXRAD because there is no acute need for it 
right now.  The internal and external projects of completely rewiring the 
building, purchasing the gigabit server, building the new server room, 
hiring another FT employee for me and submitting 4 proposals in the last 
month have nearly caused me to go completely insane! :-)

Another reason we haven't gone to NEXRAD is because we just got a realtime 
feed of NEXRAD from newark due to a deicing program they have.  They 
mounted some instruments out at our met tower site and we got a free 
feed.  It works great although the we can't archive anything off of it 
(standalone system).  At least I didn't have to set it up!

Let me know if you need me to do anything else.
