Adding a service to a remotely served dataset

[Ethan Davis]

Hi Roy,

If you are actually serving the dataset through your server (which it 
sounds like you are since you mention existing NcML for the dataset) 
rather than providing a link in your catalog to the remote server, I 
believe you can simply add the WCS service to your TDS configuration 
catalog and serve the data via WCS. It shouldn't require any changes to 
the NcML, just to the service element in the catalog.

Of course, this depends on the dataset meeting the WCS server 
requirements, e.g., evenly spaced grid.

I'm not sure how it would perform. But I'll leave it for John to respond 
on that.
