Or, could it be something in the LDM? I don't know the cause of the problem. The only thing I do know is that the LDM isn't the cause (note that we have no problems receiving the split feeds from Rossby). I suspect that Sonomatech's network is messed-up, somehow. > And, if we let this go long enough, it would get worse and the FNEXRAD or > UNIWISC feed might just disappear for long stretches. > > We can let it go until this evening like it is, but then I should probably > combine the feeds and get it stable....as I'll be gone this weekend.

Reconsolidating the feeds sounds good. Go for it. > Or, if I do want to combine feeds, AND have a subset of NIMAGE data...say > "WEST CONUS and EAST CONUS" how might I form the "very ugly" request line? The problem is that the pattern would have to request all the IDS|DDPLUS data, plus all the UNIWISC data, plus all the FNEXRAD data, but only the NIMAGE data of interest. I don't know enough about the product-identifiers to even begin that regular-expression. A workaround would be to modify Rossby's ALLOW entries to take advantage of the "OK" pattern, e.g., ALLOW IDS|DDPLUS|FNEXRAD|UNIWISC ^66\.224\.54\.160$ ALLOW NIMAGE ^66\.224\.54\.160$ <<east or west conus pattern>> where <<east or west conus pattern>> is an extended reqular-expression that selects only the east or west CONUS data-products of the NIMAGE feed. Sonomatec's LDM could request a pattern of ".*", but would only get the east or west CONUS images.
