Re: so here's a wierd one

Tyler,

I don't have any statistics to look at from your site, and you didn't say if
you weere observing any"latency" when the data was flowing in chunks.

Your subset request is a much smaller amount of data than the WMO .* pattern,
so it is likly that you would observe more continuous data flow with a full
pattern. Note that the WMO pattern includes both IDS|DDPLUS as well as HDS, and
there is certainly a lot of of HDS data (eg models) that your pattern below
doesn't capture.

What others have already mentioned in response is that you definitely want to
ensure that your feed requests to different upstream hosts are either
identical (to take advantage of autoshifting), or completely disjoint.

If you are observing latencies, pleease provide that information.
