Hi, re: > My department IT doesn’t pass my request to assign a dynamic DNS > on my working machine (currently, it's on NAT under department > network). This seems different than other machines at TAMU that are being fed from our top level IDD relay clusters. re: > Thus, I would like to set up the LDM server on the GCOOS machine > that is operating on the digital ocean. The domain name of this > machine is "geo.gcoos.org", Could you please provide the permission > access for our server? The problem with geo.gcoos.org is the same as your other machine - there is no reverse DNS for the machine. Here are the outputs from two 'nslookup' invocations, one for forward DNS (name -> IP) and one for reverse DNS (IP -> name): % nslookup geo.gcoos.org Server: 128.117.177.1 Address: 128.117.177.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: geo.gcoos.org Address: 67.207.88.241 % nslookup 67.207.88.241 Server: 128.117.177.1 Address: 128.117.177.1#53 ** server can't find 241.88.207.67.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN Are you being told that reverse DNS can not be setup for your other machine? And, is the same thing true for this machine? Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
