Hi Art, re: We think that it would be appropriate for you to send a note to address@hidden and/or address@hidden announcing your becoming the toplevel redistributor for CONDUIT in the Eastern U.S. re: > Should I say anything about switching over to new feed point, or will you > guys handle that? I was thinking of something along the lines of: In coordination with Unidata, Penn State is assuming top level relay duties for the CONDUIT datastream for the Eastern U.S. Sites previously feeding from the Unidata-maintained top level relay, idd.cise-nsf.gov, can switch their CONDUIT requests to blah.blah.psu.edu whenever they are ready. The only thing that needs to be worked into this skeleton is some notion of the sites that you will automatically feed. So, I guess the question is if your are going to implement blanket allows for certain domains, or if you want to handle the allows one-by-one. Just so you know, we have the following allows (among others) on the top level relays that we maintain: allow ANY-LIGHTNING-WSI-PCWS \.edu$ # All US .edus allow ANY-LIGHTNING-WSI-PCWS \.gov$ # All US .govs allow ANY-LIGHTNING-WSI-PCWS \.mil$ # for mil sites allow ANY-LIGHTNING-WSI-PCWS \.int$ # for ECMWF, EUMETSAT allow ANY-LIGHTNING-WSI-PCWS \.balloonfacility\.org$ # NMSU/CSBF (was NSBF) allow ANY-LIGHTNING-WSI-PCWS \.iges\.org$ # COLA allow ANY-LIGHTNING-WSI-PCWS \.mos\.org$ # Museum of Science, Boston allow ANY-LIGHTNING-WSI-PCWS \.renci\.org$ # Renaissance Computing Institute (NC State) re: > Will you contact sites individually about doing this or > send out a blanket email? Just want to know what kind of details to put > in our little blurb since people might be wondering what they should do. Mike and I talked this over, and we want the announcement to highlight your/PSU's efforts. We would be happy to help you craft the announcement if you like. We didn't send any suggestions before because we didn't want to sound/be overbearing :-) Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
