Yes. >Looks like we'll need to do some configuring this afternoon. Yup. The configuration is easy. All you need to do is change the host portion of the request lines in your ~ldm/ldmd.conf file from papagayo.unl.edu to ldm.meteo.psu.edu. An easy way to do this is to create two ldmd.conf file, one for papagayo and the other for ldm.meteo.psu.edu. This process is described in: Unidata HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Software http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/Software.html LDM http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm LDM Setup http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/ldmConfigInstallList.html Read through the section 'Configure a Failover site'. It describes the process of creating two ldmd.conf files and running a failover script from cron. Tom
