Gilbert,

So there's a downstream LDM with REQUEST entries for identical feeds from two 
-- and only two -- distinct upstream LDM-s.

Please send me the relevant entries in the downstream LDM's log file for when 
it connects to the two upstream LDM-s and for when one of them goes offline.

> So, let's say I am feeding from site "A" IDS|DDPLUS|NNEXRAD. Site "A"
> goes down. Now let's say I have site "B" feeding the exact same thing in
> the request in my ldmd.conf file. It should fail over to site "B" pretty
> seamlessly, without intervention. Sometimes, it doesn't, aand sticks to
> site "A"...thus, you get no data.
