Hi Mike,
Just to throw in my $.02...
Yes, ldmfail won't help you at all with this situation. ldmfail only
does an ldmping to the upstream host to determine whether the ldm is
alive. In no way can it determine latencies.
From a subsequent message, it looks like James is getting things sorted
out on his end. I'll be away from my email next week, as will Steve
Chiswell. If you have any further problems send an email to
support@unidata.
