Hi Celia, The feed site must be made aware of the name change... There is no way for the upstream site to know of your desire to alias to a new name. What you will need to do is go into the feed site machines /etc/hosts file and create an alias for chisel to "ldm" or whatever you want to call it. This will work, but you will also want to make sure your config is set to look in your etc hosts "file" first and "dns" second..otherwise it will continue to check "dns" for resolving "chisel".. -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ On Thu, 19 Sep 2002, Unidata Support wrote: > > Reply-to: Celia Chen <address@hidden> > -------- > > ------- Forwarded Message > > >To: address@hidden > >cc: address@hidden (Celia Chen) > >From: Celia Chen <address@hidden> > >Subject: Re: ldm, ldm-e (fwd) > >Organization: UCAR/Unidata > >Keywords: 200209191635.g8JGZx115254 > > Hi, > > I have installed the LDM package on our new ldm server "chisel" and it > received the feed just fine when I used the hostname "chisel" in my > upstream ldm server's allow line.
