[LDM #ONI-758666]: ldm test server

Hi Erik,

Correct.

re:
> How does the process work when you have a pair requesting the same thing?

Before a product is inserted into the LDM queue, a check is made to see if
a product with the same MD5 signature already exists in the queue.  If there
already is such a product, the new one is discarded (i.e., not put into the
queue).

re:
> Does 1 overwrite the other?

No, see above.

re:

OK.

re:

Yes, it is recommended as this provides redundancy.

These REQUESTs look OK.  For full redundancy you should uncomment the
REQUEST for ANY ".*" to cpstage.crh.noaa.gov on verify1.

In case it is not obvious: redundancy comes at the price of increased
bandwidth usage.  In most cases, this is typically not a problem.  If,
on the other hand, bandwidth is limited, then this could cause unwanted
network congestion (depending on the volumes of data being requested,
of course).


Cheers,

Tom
