Pete (with CC to Alan),

You asked Alan:

Here is a telling output from a notifyme run from Alan's
machine (waldo.stcloudstate.edu) to sunset.meteor.wisc.edu (IP: 144.92.130.6):

Here is some output from Alan's ldmd.log file:

The most common reason for failure would be the inability to do a forward
and reverse name lookup.  This works fine for waldo from Unidata:

(laraine.unidata.ucar.edu) 137 % nslookup waldo.stcloudstate.edu
Server:  laraine.unidata.ucar.edu
Address:  128.117.140.62

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    waldo.stcloudstate.edu
Address:  199.17.31.240

(laraine.unidata.ucar.edu) 138 % nslookup 199.17.31.240
Server:  laraine.unidata.ucar.edu
Address:  128.117.140.62

Name:    waldo.stcloudstate.edu
Address:  199.17.31.240

What does this look like from sunset?

Thanks for looking at this.   I think you know the details 
 and I have double checked that we have sunset's  ip right.
Also, no one had done any maintenance on waldo as far as I know up
to the point the data loss was noticed so I am baffled.  

As I noted to Pete,  I can ping sunset, but ldmping gives the 
response  'service unavail', 'connection refused' .

Any ideas ?

Alan
