[IDD #XUT-980774]: Data Request

Hi David,

I apologize for taking so long to get back to you...

re:

We can feed you the data via the LDM/IDD.  In order to do this, we need
the fully-qualified name of the machine running your LDM AND its IP
address.  We need both the name and IP address so we can verify that
there is both forward and reverse DNS for your machine.

Thanks for the information.

This restriction is not absolute.  We partner with other groups when
there is a measurable benefit to the Unidata community at-large.

Cheers,

Tom
