Art and Chuck, Ok how about this... In the case that ldm.meteo.psu.edu dies, then you are right, it would be beneficial for you to have a failover. Although this is probably a remote chance, we can obfuscate this problem by allowing you the same failover as ldm.meteo.psu.edu. [Murphy's law, we don't do it and ldm.meteo.psu.edu. will die, if you have the failover ldm.meteo.psu.edu will remain stable :) Art, Your primary is thelma and your failover is iita correct? This way if hardware problems keep ldm.meteo.psu.edu down, then the other sites at PSU can failover to the designated failover site, and keep the feed going. Comments..?
