Hi Rob and Rorik, I am investigating which feed into UAF should be the primary feed, it is not prudent use of bandwidth for the same site to get the same data to different machines..:) Currently: yukon.iarc.uaf.edu is ingesting only: FNMOC and HDS I suspect you may want those feeds as well as the IDS|DDPLUS and others.. Can I have you coordinate a tad with: Rorik Peterson address@hidden 907-474-1519 or Ken Dean address@hidden 907-474-7364 Rorik is the main contact. What we want to determine is whose machine is more "operational" (stable) and who will be using what data. Hopefully we can coordinate a best use scenario so all data is available on both machines, one can feed the other, with different PRIMARY and or ALTERNATE feeds.. I will cc Rorik on this as well.
