What we need from you is the fully qualified name of the machine on which
you are/will be running an LDM AND its IP address.  We need both the name
and the IP address so we can verify that both forward and reverse DNS
exists for your machine.  If it does not, we will be advising you to
contact your network folks to get the DNS properly setup.  This is a
prerequisite to running an LDM.

The CONDUIT datastream contains high resolution model output from NCEP.
It is on average the highest volume feed of all of the feeds available
in the IDD.  One must have a _very_ good network connection (big pipe)
in order to be able to ingest CONDUIT.

The UNIWISC datatstream contains GOES-East/West satellite image sectors.
It is a relatively low volume datastream.

re:

We assign an upstream feed site _after_ we have verified that there is
forward and reverse DNS for the machine you want to use.

Cheers,

Tom
