[LDM #XXW-990118]: LDM - Not your average latency problem

Yes, the latencies increased.

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.

Reconsolidating the feeds sounds good.  Go for it.

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.
