The "operational" machine is thelma.ucar.edu, so I recommend feeding from it. I would like you to limit the request to one UW machine and then relay the data internally, however. I see that freshair has the following feed requests on thelma: - one request for all of NNEXRAD|FNEXRAD|FSL2|WMO - CONDUIT feed request split 5 ways Can you try adding NIMAGE to the NNEXRAD|FNEXRAD|FSL2|WMO request? request NNEXRAD|FNEXRAD|FSL2|WMO|NIMAGE ".*" thelma.ucar.edu We can then keep track of the realtime stats to make sure that this is not too many feeds for a single requesting rpc.ldmd. If it is (i.e., if we see latencies climb), I recommend splitting the request as follows: request NNEXRAD|FNEXRAD|FSL2 ".*" thelma.ucar.edu request NIMAGE|WMO ".*" thelma.ucar.edu Thanks for the help!
