Hi Jeff,

OK.  So, given that the SDI is a single channel receiver, you will only
be able to serve the NWSTG data.  Correct me if I am wrong.

Did you ever get your NOAAPORT ingest box setup to calculate MD5
checksums that were compatible with the Unidata-operated NOAAPORT
systems, or did you drop that effort and decide to simply run the
SSEC SDI?  Just curious...

Excellent.

You can collapse the allows to:

allow   NNEXRAD|FNEXRAD|DIFAX|UNIDATA   ...

You could also change the allows to:

allow   ANY-NLDN-WSI-PCWS-GEM   ...

and use this for all requests.


Can you add several machines:

Top level IDD nodes
----------------------------
atm.geo.nsf.gov
seistan.srcc.lsu.edu
thelma.ucar.edu
unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu

Secondary IDD nodes
----------------------------
flood.atmos.uiuc.edu         <- I know you already have this listed above
f5.aos.wisc.edu
stokes.metr.ou.edu           <- I know you already have this listed above

West coast sites
----------------------------
aeolus.ucsd.edu
cirp.met.utah.edu            <- I know you already have this listed above
enso.sfsu.edu
nimbus.atmo.arizona.edu
rossby.met.sjsu.edu
^[a-z].*.atmos.washington.edu
^[a-z].*.ser.usu.edu

Unidata machines
^[a-z].*.unidata.ucar.edu

The number of machines who _will_ feed from you will be a small subset of
the above.  I would just like all top level inject nodes to have a certain
set of allows for failover purposes.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers,
