Patrick,

chiz is talking about some THREDDS programs, yes there is a zone parser,
etc.  look at this page, bottom half.

http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/projects/THREDDS/tech/server/motherlode.html

here's the zone server:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/cgi-bin/ZoneServer.pl?format=html&stn=COZ039&time=latest

it wouldn't be hard to modify the perl code to do it by state. actually
there's 2 programs, one for the pqact entry, using parser zoneWriter and
another to take http requests  ZoneServer.pl  if your interested, the
zoneWriter is part of the decoders release and a tar file could be made
for the THREDDS servers. all the code is in perl  forgot to mention, the
perl servers do bound boxes already.
