Hi Don, 

It is always wise to conserve bandwidth. 

From our IDD stats page:


http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/rtstats/

...then by site

You can see that the LDM is being widely used by UAF, I suspect your facilities 
are close :)

We suggest one feed into the campus or institute, and then fan out internally 
from that machine if it has the feeds you desire saving inbound and outbound 
traffic.

..are the contacts we currently have for that machine, but I fear they may be 
out of date.

Rorik was the main contact, if that fails Ken should be able to steer you to 
who admins that machine. Let us know if you cannot locate the admin of "dixon" 
and we can see if we can take stronger actions by searching our archives of 
support, etc...

I was up at the UAF/GI in 2000 for a VAAC conference and that was our first 
install of the LDM, it's use continues to grow, let us know how/if we can help 
further.


Cheers,

Jeff
