I have what may be a silly question. I’ve been thinking that adding a check against z39.50 should be part of my regular routine, rather than just verifying that the service is working. Do you do this test from internally or from a server that is external to your network? Would there be a benefit from running it externally other than verifying the port is open? -Jon
