Hello all, This only pertains to ldm users who feed from: sunshine.ssec.wisc.edu and/or unidata.ssec.wisc.edu ---------------------------------------------- sunshine.ssec.wisc.edu and unidata.ssec.wisc.edu will be changing their IP's on November 15th. We are not certain of the exact time of the change. DNS appears to be running at least 6 hours behind on catching up with the new IP's. We suggest adding a duplicate request to the new IP(s) for the duration of November 15th. This will cause much additional logging as there will be many "Non-existent host/domain" errors when attempting to connect to the new IP's until they are activated, and then the same for the domain names, until DNS propogates the name change with the new IP...So the watch words are..watch your logs and be ready to comment out the new requests. The new IP's are: sunshine.ssec.wisc.edu 128.104.108.55 unidata.ssec.wisc.edu 128.104.108.58 When you can enter from your prompt: nslookup 128.104.108.55 and get sunshine.ssec.wisc.edu and/or enter from your prompt: nslookup 128.104.108.58 and get unidata.ssec.wisc.edu then it is appropriate to comment out the IP requests and continue with your standard fully qualified domain request. Again, this only pertains to ldm users who feed from sunshine.ssec.wisc.edu and/or unidata.ssec.wisc.edu Thank you, -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 NWS-COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________
