perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

I didn't catch these two threads were related, thanks for the clarification. 
It sounds like you are on the right track in that you need to figure out why 
the system can't reach http://ndb1.internet2.edu:8090/lookup/records. The 
lookup service on ndb1 seems to be running fine, so a routing issue is a safe 
bet.

Thanks,
Andy
