Hi Murray, re: > It appears unidata1 (and soon unidata2) will be sharing the internet facing > IP that all our other internet facing machines do. NB: This will be problematic if both machines have overlapping feed REQUESTs and are running at the same time. re: > If this is for a network-access list then these IPs, 199.212.17.130 & > 199.212.17.131, > can be used as unidata1 will have either those two IPs when going to Internet. Should we take this to indicate that reverse DNS will not be setup for these machines? If yes, what we have to do on our side (create a fictitious mapping of IP to name in our /etc/hosts files) is brittle since the mapping will fail if the IP address(es) changes. Because of this brittleness, we would _much_ rather that a site setup DNS for their LDM machines.
