Hi David,

re: request for UIUC to implement a redundant NEXRAD2 feed
> Done.

Excellent, thank you!

re:
> The requested additional upstream feed has been added to notam.atmos.uiuc.edu
> The logs seem to indicate that it is successfully connecting to 
> idd.cise-nsf.gov

Very good.  At some point in the future, you may want to consider switching this
request from idd.cise-nsf.gov to idd.unidata.ucar.edu.  The reason I say this is
that there have been some sporadic incidences where feeds coming out of 
idd.cise-nsf.gov
appear to be delayed.  We believe that these incidents may be caused by security
measures at NSF that are designed to keep internal folks from visiting websites
that they shouldn't visit.  This is speculation on our part at the moment, 
however,
and it appears that feeds coming out of idd.cise-nsf.gov are not being slowed.
I just wanted to alert you to the possibility of some juggling in the future.

Cheers,

Tom
