From our IDD stats page: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/rtstats/ ...then by site http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/siteindex?dixon.iarc.uaf.edu You can see that the LDM is being widely used by UAF, I suspect your facilities are close :) We suggest one feed into the campus or institute, and then fan out internally from that machine if it has the feeds you desire saving inbound and outbound traffic. Ken Dean Rorik Peterson ken.dean|a_t-s_i_g_n|gi.alaska.edu ffrap1|a_t-s_i_g_n|aurora.uaf.edu ..are the contacts we currently have for that machine, but I fear they may be out of date. Rorik was the main contact, if that fails Ken should be able to steer you to who admins that machine. Let us know if you cannot locate the admin of "dixon" and we can see if we can take stronger actions by searching our archives of support, etc... I was up at the UAF/GI in 2000 for a VAAC conference and that was our first install of the LDM, it's use continues to grow, let us know how/if we can help further.
