Hi Waldenio, re: > Seems that we still are experiencing problems with the CPTEC´s DNS. > You did a nslookup at clusterpre.cptec.inpe.br ? Here are my results: % nslookup clusterpre.cptec.inpe.br Server: laraine.unidata.ucar.edu Address: 128.117.140.62 *** laraine.unidata.ucar.edu can't find clusterpre.cptec.inpe.br: Non-existent host/domain re: > May I ask help for a quick test to verify it ? I will send the results > to our network managers. > > could you do a nslookup and a ping at: > > tumbyra.cptec.inpe.br > ubiru.cptec.inpe.br > 150.163.141.227 > 150.163.141.149 Here are my results: tumbyra.cptec.inpe.br: % nslookup tumbyra.cptec.inpe.br Server: laraine.unidata.ucar.edu Address: 128.117.140.62 *** laraine.unidata.ucar.edu can't find tumbyra.cptec.inpe.br: Non-existent host/domain % nslookup 150.163.141.227 Server: laraine.unidata.ucar.edu Address: 128.117.140.62 Name: tumbyra.cptec.inpe.br Address: 150.163.141.227 ubiru.cptec.inpe.br: % nslookup ubiru.cptec.inpe.br Server: laraine.unidata.ucar.edu Address: 128.117.140.62 *** laraine.unidata.ucar.edu can't find ubiru.cptec.inpe.br: Non-existent host/domain % nslookup 150.163.141.149 Server: laraine.unidata.ucar.edu Address: 128.117.140.62 *** laraine.unidata.ucar.edu can't find 150.163.141.149: Server failed Comments: - since reverse DNS (IP -> name) is what is needed for LDM ALLOWs, tumbyra.cptec.inpe.br should be able to REQUEST data from idd.unidata.ucar.edu given our blanket ALLOWs for machines in the inpe.cptec.br domain - since neither forward or reverse DNS seems to be available for ubiru.cptec.inpe.br, LDM ALLOWs would have to be by IP We do not like to create ALLOWs using machine's IP addresses since this is more inflexible than ALLOWs by name re: > Thank you very much. No worries. Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
