REQUEST ANY is a BIG request, and you will not be feeding from us, so you will want to remove that line, the line I mentioned earlier is in your ldmd.conf under begin access control: # Begin Access control ############################################################################### # # ############################################################################### # ALLOW: Who we are willing to feed # # allow <feedset> <hostname pattern> ############################################################################### # allow ANY ^((localhost|loopback)|(127\.0\.0\.1\.?$)|([a-z].*\.unidata\.ucar\.edu\.?$)) ..and once we can resolve your hostname, we will pass that on to U of Albany to place an "allow" for your machine to request lightning.
