OK, got it.  The problem is that there is no reverse DNS for ldm.cicsnc.org.
Here is an example from one of the real server nodes of idd.unidata.ucar.edu:

# nslookup ldm.cicsnc.org
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   ldm.cicsnc.org
Address: 198.85.226.20

# nslookup 198.85.226.20
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find 20.226.85.198.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN


The REQUEST that is sent to the upstream contains the requesting
machine's IP address.  This needs to be turned into a 
fully-qualified hostname and then matched to an ALLOW.  Since
there is no reverse DNS for ldm.cicsnc.org (i.e., IP -> name),
the IP address is used to match an ALLOW, and ALLOWs on
idd.unidata.ucar.edu are by fully qualified names.  Once there
is forward AND reverse DNS for your machine, the REQUEST will
be honored.

Cheers,

Tom
