That is a great solution, and one we encourage and that has been implemented 
many times. 

You nailed it, they CANNOT pass on ANY restricted feeds i.e. LIGHTNING, ACARS 
but are free to do as they
wish with the public data once it hits their machine. Unidata would expect that 
the partnering edu/research institution would support your LDM use, but of 
course our user lists are open to everyone :) 

i.e ldm-users

Hope this helps,
