FW: wackamole 1.0

We interupt the normal NANOG threads for this potentially interesting item. % ------------------------- % % Hi, % % We at the Center for Networking and Distributed Systems at Johns Hopkins % University % (http://www.cnds.jhu.edu) are happy to announce the release of Wackamole, % a software tool that provides N-Way Fail Over for IP Addresses in a cluster. % It is available here: http://www.backhand.org/wackamole/ and is released % under the CNDS open source license % http://www.backhand.org/wackamole/LICENSE.shtml % which is essentially a version of BSD license with a somewhat stronger % advertising % requirement. % % Wackamole is a tool that helps with making a cluster highly available. % It manages a bunch of virtual IPs that should be available to the outside % world at all times. Wackamole ensures that exactly one machine within the % cluster is % listening on each virtual IP address that Wackamole manages. % If it discovers that particular machines within the cluster are not alive, % it will % almost immediately ensure that other machines acquire the virtual IP % addresses the % down machines were managing. At no time will more than one connected machine % be % responsible for any virtual IP. % % Wackamole also works toward achieving a balanced distribution of the public % IPs % within the cluster it manages. % % How it works: % Wackamole runs as root on each of the cluster's machines. It uses the % membership % notifications provided by the Spread Toolkit (http://www.spread.org, also % available % under a similar license) to generate a consistent state that is agreed upon % among % all of the connected Wackamole instances. % Wackamole uses this knowledge to ensure that all of the public IP addresses % served % by the cluster will be covered by exactly one Wackamole instance. % % Wackamole is the newest component in the Backhand project % (http://www.backhand.org) % adding to its predecessors mod_backhand and mod_log_spread. % % For questions or comments - e-mail wackamole(a)backhand.org % % Best regards, % % :) Yair. http://www.cnds.jhu.edu -- --bill

Very sorry this happened. Marketing purchased a 'trial version' of a list that apparently had ARIN-gleanings. Use of that list has been suspended with all partners, and we are working on ways to make sure that we can 'pattern match' any such similar crud from future lists. This is the first of the lists that has been a problem (though we have in the past had one or two salespeople who were quickly unconfused on individual solicitations), and we intend to make sure it won't happen again. If anyone has any heuristics for ensuring that lists don't have automated new-domain or SWIP gleanings, I'd appreciate them; for now we'll just search for hostmaster@, ipspace@, and other role-looking accounts. Sorry, Avi (speaking as Chief Network Architect, Akamai)

However, by odd coincidence I can fill you in on some background info: >from=<bounces(a)bounce.innovyx.com>, <snip> Well I *can* confirm for you that 'Innovyx' is a spamhaus. I unfortunately worked for their parent company several years ago, until I got a clue and bailed. 'Innovyx' spun off just before I left, and unfortunately my name (with an ancient low-number personal NIC handle... remmber those?) was on their WHOIS records, both at NSI and ARIN, for way too long. I got endlessly harrassed by pissed off people, until my attorney reminded their attorney about the agreement we all signed when we settled. They haven't updated their own ARIN WHOIS data <http://www.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=NET-TPDI3>, so there is at least one human listed there you *can* harass... however he isn't the one who can do anything for you. Ping me off-list if you want the names of the guilty. You *really need* to contact Digex & Akamai, as they were actually foolish enough to *pay* Innovyx good money to harass you. P.T.

Let's just say that I reject religious oversimplifications, whether it's about spam 'there are no acceptable opt-in lists' (I've subscribed to a few, though generally with separate mailing address) - or routing 'multihoming is bad and hurts you' (rarely aregues except by those with a financial incentive to do so). Don't get me started on OSs, though... There may be FAR more than a kernel of truth, but blanket statements go against my grain... In any case, re: Akamai, we managed to convince marketing that the benefit of even what I'd call 'legit' list-based marketing aren't worth it, so the rest is just semantics and probably, as you said, not really on-topic for NANOG.
