Hi Mike,

So sorry to hear that you've had to enlist strong drugs.

Anyway, here's a bit more info re: Harry's situation.

Harry has now removed the Alpha, sunny89, and is now feeding the Sun,
air89, directly from motherlode and noaaport.ssec.wisc.edu.  Things are
still timing out, so things still point to air89 as the problem.

ldmping from motherlode was fine for sunny89, but could not connect for
air89:

And, here are traceroutes to those machines from motherlode.

>From noaaport.ssec.wisc.edu the ldmping results were slightly
different.  The connection to sunny89 was great, but this time it
couldn't even resolve the air89 address.  Would this be a sporadic DNS
issue in Washington?

And yet, nslookup could resolve the name:


unidata{ldm}: nslookup air89.atmos.washington.edu
Server:  dns1.ssec.wisc.edu
Address:  128.104.108.26

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    air89.atmos.washington.edu
Address:  128.95.89.44

unidata{ldm}: nslookup 128.95.89.44
Server:  dns1.ssec.wisc.edu
Address:  128.104.108.26

Name:    air89.atmos.washington.edu
Address:  128.95.89.44


If you have any ideas let me know.  Having said that, I hope you can get
some rest and get better.
