I think this may be related to being on the backup network right now so maybe we were having some issues reaching the DNS server. Kodiak was added to the hosts file of the logging machine to help work around this issue going forward. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Feb 21 02:14:55 GMT 2019 ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey, waters
