The above message contained the following:

> I have upgraded ldm on both our upstream and downstream server.
> However, on the upstream server, I see the following entries in ldmd.log:

The above is easier to interpret if we just look at the messages from
process 22445:

> Apr 12 21:06:17 oahu gw2-dmz(noti)[22445]: Starting Up(6.3.0/5): 
> 20050412205452.403 TS_ENDT {{ANY,  ".*"}}
> Apr 12 21:06:17 oahu gw2-dmz(noti)[22445]: topo:  gw2-dmz ANY
> Apr 12 21:11:48 oahu gw2-dmz(noti)[22445]: nullproc5(gw2-dmz): RPC: Unable to 
> receive

The above means that a "notifying" upstream LDM-5 was started on host
"oahu" due to a NOTIFYME request from host "gw2-dmz" (notifying LDM-s
don't send data, only metadata).  The notifying LDM on "oahu" sent a
NULLPROC message to "gw2-dmz" (to test or flush the connection) but did
not receive the mandatory (but empty) reply.  The notifying LDM then
terminates.

Apparently, host "gw2-dmz" is still running version 5 of the LDM.

Corresponding entries in the LDM logfile on "gw2-dmz" might prove
illuminating.

It could be that the network between the two systems isn't very good.
