Hi Jeff,

Any idea on the DNS problem for berry?  I continue to see feed request
denials in thelma's ldmd.log file:

Apr 05 16:31:38 thelma.ucar.edu rpc.ldmd[14484]: gethostbyaddr: failed for 
66.28.250.166
Apr 05 16:31:38 thelma.ucar.edu rpc.ldmd[14484]: Denying connection from 
66.28.250.166
Apr 05 16:31:38 thelma.ucar.edu last message repeated 1 time

I could add an entry for berry to thelma's /etc/hosts file to get you
going, but this wouldn't solve the problem for other sites that you are
trying to feed from.

Current allows on thelma:

allow   ANY-WSI-NLDN    frost.wunderground.com
allow   ANY-WSI-NLDN    ^(berry|whirlpool)\.wunderground\.com$
allow   ANY-WSI-NLDN    ^(sleet|ingestor)\.wunderground\.com$

Forward and reverse name lookups for berry:

(laraine.unidata.ucar.edu) 790 % nslookup -sil berry.wunderground.com
Server:         128.117.140.62
Address:        128.117.140.62#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   berry.wunderground.com
Address: 66.28.250.166

(laraine.unidata.ucar.edu) 793 % nslookup -sil 66.28.250.166
Server:         128.117.140.62
Address:        128.117.140.62#53

** server can't find 166.250.28.66.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN
