OK.

Forward and reverse DNS appear to be working correctly:

nslookup vams36.arc.nasa.gov
Server:         206.168.216.6
Address:        206.168.216.6#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   vams36.arc.nasa.gov
Address: 128.102.146.246

$ nslookup 128.102.146.246
Server:         206.168.216.6
Address:        206.168.216.6#53

Non-authoritative answer:
246.146.102.128.in-addr.arpa    name = vams36.arc.nasa.gov.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
102.128.in-addr.arpa    nameserver = ns1.arc.nasa.gov.
102.128.in-addr.arpa    nameserver = nasans1.nasa.gov.
102.128.in-addr.arpa    nameserver = ns.arc.nasa.gov.
ns.arc.nasa.gov internet address = 128.102.16.2
ns1.arc.nasa.gov        internet address = 128.102.201.2

Initially, please use aeolus.ucsd.edu as your primary upstream
feed host.  I have just verified that there is an allow for
your machine on aeolus, but you should verify that this works
using:

<as 'ldm' on your machine>
notifyme -vxl- -f ANY -h aeolus.ucsd.edu

This will tell you immediately if you are allowed to request
data.

I also reconfigured aeolus to ingest the NGRID data.  I will need
to watch aeolus to make sure that this does not push the machine past
its ingest/relay capacity.  If it does, I will have to ask you to move
your NGRID request to a different upstream host (which would likely
be rainbow.al.noaa.gov).

> Thanks for your time.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
