Multi-file netcdf dataset via dods?

[David Wang <climater@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello folks,

greeting from a ferret newbie. I've got a question: is it possible to 
treat a collection of netcdf files on a dods server as a single netcdf 
dataset, through, say a local or remote .des file? For example the model 
output from GFDL data portal 
(http://data1.gfdl.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/nph-dods/dods-data/gfdl_cm2_0/CM2Q-d2_1861-2000-AllForc_h1/pp/ocean_tripolar/ts/monthly/).
In other words, to realize chapter 10.4 in ferret user's guide (creating 
a multi-file netcdf dataset) with netcdf files on a dods server rather 
than those on a local computer, which has only limited disk space.

Thanks,
- David
