OK.

Yup, been there :-)

The key thing from our perspective is that your machine that will be running the
LDM have both forward and reverse DNS.  If it does, the configuration(s) to 
allow
access to IDD datastreams is very easy.  If it does not, someone has to do 
extra work
on all of the machines which you will request data from, and the sort of thing 
that
can be done on the upstream side is brittle (e.g., defining a correspondence 
between
a fully qualified hostname and IP address in one's /etc/hosts file).

Just so you know, we (Unidata Program Center) are in the middle of moving from 
one
building to another in UCAR.  The movers got here at noon and are expected to be
working for several days to move all of the offices in our building (LOTS more
than just Unidata).  I tell you this because the move could effect our ability
to respond as quickly as we normally would like.

Cheers,

Tom
