Yup, and I am still collaborating with you :-)

Very good.

OK, thanks.

We have allowed these machines to REQUEST from our primary and backup
IDD relay clusters, idd.unidata.ucar.edu and iddb.unidata.ucar.edu.

NB: Please let us know when reverse DNS has been established for each of
the machines you referred to above.

Regarding the IDD feed types that you are interested in, please refer
to our LDM-6 Feed Types page:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/feedtypes/index.html

In particular, note that:

NTEXT - NOAAport textual products (for future use)
NPORT - Predefined feed set name for NTEXT, NGRID, NPOINT, NGRAPH, or NOTHER

re:
> Thank you for your time and support with the IDD setup in Central America
> and the Caribbean.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
