Hi Laurie, If c1.xdc.arm.gov is going to be ingesting the same datasets as: xert.xdc.arm.gov You can feed yourself :)...this is the beauty of the IDD/LDM. It can be a hard hit for your network to duplicate your ingest of the feeds to two machines. Even if c1.xdc.arm.gov is not co-located with you, you can still feed the machine with the assumption you are both desirous of the same data...or at least they want a subset of what you are ingesting. You would place an allow for c1.xdc.arm.gov in your ldmd.conf, and they would request from you. Please feel free to also have: idd.cise-nsf.gov as a failover site. The allows for your machine(s) are in place on that machine. Great to hear the IDD/LDM has been a positive experience for your data transfers.
