[IDD #DBF-760900]: How to join the IDD network?

Hi Laurie, 

The IP's will be static, but we run a cluster, and you can end up on any node, 
so we ask for our subnet to have access.

If you are an I2 participant, we run a single node machine out of NSF, so that 
would be one static IP.

The IP's to allow are:

idd.cise-nsf.gov

192.12.209.62
--
and for our node(s)

128.117.140.*

128.117.156.*

128.117.149.*

This should do it...

Cheers,

Jeff
