Topic: NESDIS World Weather Building DNS Changes
Message Issued: July 12, 2004, 1700 UTC
Satellites Impacted: None
Products Impacted: All NESDIS Servers using the "wwb.noaa.gov" DNS
Address
Date/Time of Initial Impact: August 23, 2004

--------------------------
Details:

Due to a change in the DNS (Domain Name Server) equipment within the
World Weather Building effective August 23, 2004, users who access some
of NESDIS' Satellite Services Division servers and web sites may need to
make changes in order to continue receipt of products and images.

When all of SSD's systems and networks are migrated to the new DNS
system, any references to  -- wwb.noaa.gov --  must be changed to --
ssd.nesdis.noaa.gov --

In preparation for the migration, users should assess this impact and
develop a list of changes that will be needed after the migration to
eliminate references to wwb.noaa.gov. This would include changing
configuration files such as .rhosts, .netrc and scripts as appropriate.
This work should be started by users now. For example, if external
customers are accessing the SSD systems within scripts or bookmarks or
any other method, using the
<hostname>.wwb.noaa.gov domain, this will no longer work as of
8/23/2004. External system should be modified to advertise and re-direct
customers to the <hostname>.ssd.nesdis.noaa.gov domain.

For example, our anonymous web and ftp server of -- gp16.wwb.noaa.gov --
can now be accessed at -- gp16.ssd.nesdis.noaa.gov --

Any McIDAS users who are pointing to SSD servers to access satellite
imagery using any wwb.noaa.gov (such as gp4, gp10, etc...) references
must change as well to the ssd.nesdis.noaa.gov configuration.
