Hi Rusty, > I tried switching to iddb in our ldmd.conf file and restarted ldm, > but saw no data coming across. It is always best to test REQUESTs using 'notifyme' before switching. re: > I tried the notifyme command below for > each idd.unidata and iddb.unidata and didn't see any thing coming > across. I put idd.unidata back in the ldmd.conf file and restarted ldm > and we are getting data from idd. We are running version 6.11.7. We looked through the log files on all of the real server backend machines in iddb.unidata.ucar.edu, and we found no evidence of any contact by a machine that has 'nesdis' in their name. Since geoprod4.espc.nesdis.noaa.gov does not resolve to any IP address: % nslookup geoprod4.espc.nesdis.noaa.gov Server: 192.168.72.2 Address: 192.168.72.2#53 ** server can't find geoprod4.espc.nesdis.noaa.gov: NXDOMAIN it is likely that we (probably me) setup a hardwired mapping of your machine's IP address and a name that would match for an existing ALLOW. But, since the /etc/hosts hardwires are identical on idd.unidata.ucar.edu and iddb.unidata.ucar.edu, and since we are not seeing _any_ Denying messages in iddb's LDM log files, it is possible/likely that the NOAA firewall is blocking outbound connections to port 388 on iddb.unidata.ucar.edu. Can you provide us with: - the external IP address of your LDM machine - all of the output when you run the following 'notifyme' command <as 'ldm' on your LDM machine> notifyme -vl- -f ANY -h iddb.unidata.ucar.edu Again, we need all of the output. Thanks in advance... Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
