Hi Mike, re: IDD access to idd.unidata.ucar.edu; the machine is up and the LDM is running > Hmmm...I still have nothing: > -------------------------------- > rossby:~/etc>ldmping idd.unidata.ucar.edu > Feb 20 21:44:22 State Elapsed Port Remote_Host rpc_stat > Feb 20 21:44:32 H_CLNTED 10.007652 388 idd.unidata.ucar.edu select: > RPC: Timed out > > rossby:~/etc>date > Mon Feb 20 13:44:38 PST 2006 > rossby:~/etc>date -u > Mon Feb 20 21:44:45 UTC 2006 > ------------------------------- I just verified connectivity to idd.unidata.ucar.edu from three different machines in the IDD: idd.geo.nsf.gov (aka atm.geo.nsf.gov): ldmping idd.unidata.ucar.edu Feb 20 22:06:30 INFO: State Elapsed Port Remote_Host rpc_stat Feb 20 22:06:31 INFO: RESPONDING 0.144605 388 idd.unidata.ucar.edu bigbird.tamu.edu: ldmping idd.unidata.ucar.edu Feb 20 22:04:50 INFO: State Elapsed Port Remote_Host rpc_stat Feb 20 22:04:50 INFO: RESPONDING 0.080541 388 idd.unidata.ucar.edu unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu: ldmping idd.unidata.ucar.edu Feb 20 22:07:12 INFO: State Elapsed Port Remote_Host rpc_stat Feb 20 22:07:13 INFO: RESPONDING 0.069502 388 idd.unidata.ucar.edu Given the successful ldmpings from these machines, I am led to believe that there is either a DNS or network routing issue from rossby. Can you ldmping either unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu or idd.geo.nsf.gov? If yes, please use the one that works as a failover until the hiccup passes. NOTE: if you decide to feed from the NSF/ATM machine, please use idd.geo.nsf.gov instead of atm.geo.nsf.gov. Even though this is currently the same machine, the situation will change in the future.
