James, I had our LDM developer Steve Emmerson "tune" your reg exp's. and we cleaned up your request to ease the burden on your network. Please let us know if you encounter any problems, Enjoy, Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Weber address@hidden : Unidata Program Center PH:303-497-8676 : University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln : http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 : --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > request CONDUIT ".*" f5.aos.wisc.edu Change this to request CONDUIT "/MT.ruc_CY" f5.aos.wisc.edu ...
