Doug, > Do you append :8080 to the end of the server name to designate this? Yes, so a line like REQUEST ANY "^z_tigge_c_babj.*\.grib:.*(00|30|60|90)$" tigge-ldm.cma.gov.cn would become REQUEST ANY "^z_tigge_c_babj.*\.grib:.*(00|30|60|90)$" tigge-ldm.cma.gov.cn:8080 > I'm not sure if CMA is currently running the balance program. Neither am I, so it might not work. The symptom would be log messages from the downstream LDM processes saying that they can't connect.
