Two questions:

- what is does your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf REQUEST line look like (i.e., does
  your data request include the NAPLN data)?

- if the answer to the first question is yes, the second question is if
  the upstream you are feeding from actually making the NAPLN data available?

The answer to the second question is easily gotten from a notifyme:

<as 'ldm'>
notifyme -vl- -f EXP -o 10000 -h upstream_feed_host_for_US/NAPLN_data

If the 'notifyme' does not show the data, then you are not going to get
it.  If it does, then your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf REQUEST line might not
be requesting it.

Comment:

- the NAPLN data should be a superset of the USPLN data.  I would think
  that ingesting it would be sufficient.

Cheers,

Tom
