If that feed has stopped flowing, did you change anything in your request lines recently? We've noticed some possible problems with... either 'allow' lines or 'request' lines and NEXRAD, aka NNEXRAD. For example, one site feeding from motherlode did not get the NEXRAD feed when we put an additional, separate 'allow' line on motherlode specifically for NEXRAD, but did get the feed when we instead added NEXRAD to the original 'allow' line. See http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/mfs/65/4431?36#mfs. I'm not sure if this is relevant to your situation or not. Furthermore, I'd be surprised if it's really NEXRAD specific. It may simply be an issue involving multiple allow or request lines pertaining to a single site. I see that James has multiple request lines and I'm just wondering if there's a bug in how they are being handled. So, right now this is just a FYI. If you can confirm that there is a problem please let me know. I'll be away next week. If you have any further questions, please send email to support@unidata.
