[CONDUIT #FUD-768351]: backup conduit source

Hi Jerry,

re:

Absolutely.  Assuming that the machine(s) you want to REQUEST CONDUIT from have
forward and reverse DNS, you can immediately feed from:

idd.unidata.ucar.edu   - primary top level IDD relay node at Unidata/UCAR
iddb.unidata.ucar.edu  - secondary/backup top level IDD relay node at 
Unidata/UCAR

I would prefer that you REQUEST from iddb.unidata.ucar.edu as this will help us
distribute the load.

re:

For a full time backup use idd.unidata.ucar.edu.

FYI:

If your machine(s) meet the caveat listed above (DNS), you should also be able
to REQUEST from:

idd.meteo.psu.edu
idd.tamu.edu

re:
> Thanks for your help.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
