Hi Chuck,

>FYI: We now have a noaaport machine feeding our ingest machine
>(zephir.eas.slu.edu) as a redundant feed of the IDS|DDSPLUS|HDS feeds.

Congratulations!

>the NOAAPORT machine is nereid.eas.slu.edu...it should start showing
>up as a feed to zephir in the real-time stats...we are not sending 
>statistics for nereid but can if you are interested.

This is not absolutely necessary, but it might be useful to have
nereid show up as an IDD injection node so the stats tracing is
complete.

>Hopefully in the next few weeks we will include the NEXRAD and GINI
>feeds into zephir.

The NNEXRAD data is in the NWSTG channel, so if you are already
ingesting IDS|DDPLUS and HDS, you should be getting the NNEXRAD data.

Your latencies look very good right now.

I hear you ;-)

>BTW: Our machines purchased with the Unidata Equipment grant just

Way cool!

>I'll be at the AMS Annual meeting so I'll stop by and chat.

Please do.  Talk to you later...
