Internet access is as important as the lights or water being on. Right, get out, but it'll be good to see reasonable updates on what's going on utilities wise down there when the weather shifts. -M<

Wow. It doesn't look good for New Orleans and surrounding area. Just curious what measures ISP's in the area may have been going through in preparation for this (what appears to be huge) hurricane. - ferg -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

heads-up: abusat.org registered (!= cbl.abuseat.org)
by JP Velders 28 Aug '05

LS, today I had to find out that during my holiday a typo was entered into our mailconfig, we use a bunch of dnsbl's, amongst others the CBL (cbl.abuseat.org) Now, the 'e' from abuse was left out by mistake it seems, so since 07:40 (GMT+2) we suddenly started bouncing everything based on - as it appeared to others - the CBL... :( >From the PIR whois I got: jpv@jp-gp: ~ $ whois -h whois.pir.org abusat.org [ ... ] Domain ID:D107298888-LROR Domain Name:ABUSAT.ORG Created On:28-Aug-2005 05:36:11 UTC Expiration Date:28-Aug-2006 05:36:11 UTC Sponsoring Registrar:Capitoldomains LLC (R1392-LROR) Status:TRANSFER PROHIBITED So, in case anyone else made a typo and didn't notice, you might want to check before you get angry calls about it.

{f,i,k}.root-servers.net anycast instances deployed in India
by Suresh Ramasubramanian 27 Aug '05

... at three NIXI (www.nixi.org - the indian IXP) POPs - Delhi, Bombay and Madras. About time too. There's a fourth metro in India - Calcutta, which is the capital of a state that has one of two democratically elected communist governments in the world, by the way - the other being the Indian state of Kerala. [and the party in power in Calcutta is also part of the ruling coalition in the Indian government]. Now for comments in that admirable institution, the Indian press. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1211092.cms Two things - > The move will help bring down the cost of accessing Internet in > India, where the clone root servers have been set up in Delhi, Mumbai > and Chennai. "Normally, other countries get to host only two such > services, but we fought hard and got three," said communications and > IT minister Dayanidhi Maran. Maran seems to think this is as big an achievement as a kid throwing a tantrum to get three chocolate bars instead of two, which it is not .. and, from a post on another mailing list that I read - > Mr. Paul Wilson, Director General APNIC and Mr. Axel Pawlik, Managing > Director - RIPE will be in Delhi between 25-26 August 2005 in connection > with Integration of Internet Root Servers in India. Ah. Calcutta left out of the race, and those dreaded foreign imperialist powers are behind it all. I confidently expect our friendly comrades in Calcutta will feel duty bound to call for a general strike (something they were proverbial for doing at the drop of a hat, till quite recently ...) -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists(a)gmail.com)

Apologies for duplicate copies. NZNOG 06 - Call for Participation and Papers The next conference of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be held in Wellington, New Zealand between 22-24 March 2006. Our hosts are The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science at Victoria University. The conference will take place the week before the Wellington ICANN meeting in order enable people to attend both events. NZNOG meetings provide opportunities for the exchange of technical information and discussion of issues relating to the operation and support of network services, with particular emphasis on New Zealand. The conference is low priced and has a strong technical focus with the aim and history of getting a strong turnout of technical personal from New Zealand Internet orientated companies. The planned format is one day of streamed Special Interest Group ( SIG ) Meetings followed by 2 days of the conference proper. Sponsors -------- There are opportunities remaining for organisations to sponsor various aspects of the NZNOG meeting. Please contact sponsorship(a)nznog.org for more information SIG Meetings ------------ The first day of the conference is arranged as parallel tracks to cover subject material which is of interest to particular groups of attendees. Proposals are requested for workshops, tutorials and other appropriate special-interest meetings of interest to Network Operators. Presentations ------------- NZNOG invites presentations on relevant topics. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to Network Monitoring, Peering , Network Design Philosophy, Security and Encryption, IPV6, DDOS, WAN Solutions / VPNs, BGP and other routing protocols, ENUM, Fibre Optics, Wireless, Spam, Mail Servers, Virtual Servers (eg Xen, UML, VMware). Presentations from researchers and from practitioners are welcomed. Presentations don't need to fit any particular fixed length and can be from 30 minutes to 3 hours in length. The survey of mailing list members was conducted in early 2005 to determine areas of interest, the results are available here: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/2005-May/010020.html If you are interested in submitting a talk please fill out the questions at then end of this document and email them to talks(a)nznog.org .
