[THREDDS #GTY-581291]: delayed availability of GFS/GEFS on thredds.ucar.edu

Greetings Russ,

The thredds.ucar.edu server has been getting hammered like crazy over the past 
month or so (maybe more). We are looking into upgrading that machine to handle 
this increased load, but in the meantime, have you tried 
thredds-test.unidata.ucar.edu? It's running TDS v5, and your scripts would be a 
good exercise for it. Would you be willing to give that server a try? The load 
is much less than thredds.ucar.edu.

Cheers,

Sean
