[LDM #FLC-412827]: Request for upstream feed suggestions for ldm servers at TAMU ATMO

Gyorgyi,

Welcome to the IDD system.

I'm going to move your inquiry to our "support-idd" department because it's not 
really about the LDM. Someone should respond shortly.

Sorry to hear that the top-level TAMU IDD servers are in jeopardy. May I ask 
what the issue is?

We recommend that an LDM make the same request to 2 upstream LDMs. The LDM is 
designed to use one of the connections as the primary feed and the other as a 
low-bandwidth hot-spare backup to which it will automatically switch if and 
when the primary connection degrades. Making the same request of 3 upstream 
LDMs, however, is not recommended for (stupid but unavoidable) technical 
reasons.
