No problem getting you an upstream site. However, while exploring a "traceroute" to: ftp-mirror.nohrsc.nws.gov ..it does not resolve. To participate in the Unidata IDD/LDM network the machine the LDM is running on needs to have both forward and reverse DNS capability. traceroute: unknown host ftp-mirror.nohrsc.nws.gov /opt/ldm% nslookup ftp-mirror.nohrsc.nws.gov Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 ** server can't find ftp-mirror.nohrsc.nws.gov.cise-nsf.gov: NXDOMAIN Please let me know if I am not investigating the right machine name, or if you have an IP# for the machine I can look at.
