Subject: ldmd.conf on thelma


I modified the LSU allow line on Thelma to:
allow   ANY     ^(sirocco\.srcc\.lsu\.edu|130\.39\.188\.220)$

Tom, the above syntax using the escaped "." as well as specifying
the starting "^" and ending "$" is accepted fine. Here is what happens
in the ldmd.log:

Aug 02 18:40:10 3Q:thelma rpc.ldmd[86061]: 
   gethostbyaddr: failed for 130.39.188.220

   topo: 130.39.188.220 FSL2|WMO


Notice that first the gethostbyaddr fails, however since the IP address
is matched in the ldmd.conf file, the feed is still created and named
using the IP address.
