[IDD #DSF-516290]: problem with NNEXRAD feed from idd.unidata.ucar.edu

Hi Greg,

Excellent.  The latencies anyone in UCAR/NCAR should see from
feeds from idd.unidata.ucar.edu should be as close to zero 
imaginable.  The "good" latencies you were seeing for the NEXRAD3
data (1000s) were, quite frankly, unacceptable.

re:

Thanks.  I will review this tonight or tomorrow and get back to
you.

Ah Ha!  This is a BIG no-no on pretty much every system the LDM
runs on!!  I just took a look at latencies for the NGRID feed
for ingest.eol, and then are now essentially zero.  Looks like
you found the smoking gun :-)

Excellent.

I will still review your ldmd.conf file to see if there is anything
that can be done there to either combine or split feed requests
to make things more efficient.

Cheers,

Tom
