Hi Frank,

Ouch!  I hate it when that happens ;-)

The IDD relay nodes under our control (e.g., idd.undiata.ucar.edu) are
configured so that any machine from your subdomain can request data.
The same may not, however, be true for the sites not under our control:

NEXRAD flood.atmos.uiuc.edu
FSL2 iita.rap.ucar.edu
NLDN striker2.atmos.albany.edu

> If so, who should we contact about getting permission?

The IDD site contacts are available online at:

Unidata HomePage
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
  TOOLS dropdown -> IDD
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/
    IDD current operational status
    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/iddgeneral.html
      IDD site contact list
      http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/sitelist.html

A quick scan of the last page shows the contact at the various sites
to be:

flood.atmos.uiuc.edu        - David Wojtowicz <address@hidden>
iita.rap.ucar.edu           - Paul Prestopnik <address@hidden>
striker2.atmos.albany.edu   - David Knight    <address@hidden>

You should CC Gary Cunning <address@hidden> on your feed request to RAL (used to
be NCAR/RAP).

> I suspect that time
> period for which we are accessing the above with both
> computers will be very short.

OK.

> Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

No worries.
