[LDM #EZZ-721081]: Weird issue observed on running LDM system

Robert,

If the two upstream LDM-s have the same set of data-products and the feedtype 
and pattern fields in their REQUEST entries are identical, then no data-product 
will be lost during a switch-over.

No.

The PRIMARY and ALTERNATE keywords in a REQUEST entry no longer have any effect.

You can force the two connections to both be in PRIMARY mode by using 
semantically identical but syntactically different pattern. For example

request EXP    "weathertap/wrf/noram_rr/.*"    ingester
request EXP    "(weathertap/wrf/noram_rr/.*)"  ingester_alt

Naturally, the amount of bandwidth used will be approximately doubled.
