URGENT: Operational Integrity Problem with IQ-INTERNET.COM
by Barry Shein 04 Jan '97

04 Jan '97

Reference: Sprint Customer Larry Host Domain: IQ-INTERNET.COM Problem Summary: Out of control mail loop 1. For the past 48 or so hours all e-mail from the domain IQ-INTERNET.COM has been blocked from our domain, STD.COM. All such email is refused with an immediate error message by our (std.com) server. 2. The account lhost(a)iq-internet.com, owner or adminstrator of this iq-internet.com domain, has been informed of this many times in this period. Messages have been left on their answering machine. Sprint personnel attempted to relay this message to him though I do not know if they were successful. Sprint security personnel have publically and privately (to me) acknowledged the problem. 3. Electronic mail continues to be sent (as of 17:17 EST) from iq-internet.com to world.std.com at a rate of several messages per minute, each one refused. THIS IS NOT A POLICY PROBLEM -- THIS IS A TECHNICAL PROBLEM. There is no reason for a host to send thousands of email msgs each being refused long after being informed of this state of affairs except: a) maliciousness b) severe technical failure or error, or gross operating negligence. I informed Sprint of this several hours ago, I reported it as a *TECHNICAL* problem although apparently Sprint network personnel continue to infer that they can read the system owner's mind and intuit that he is doing this for relatively innocent or purposeful reasons such that Sprint can not get involved. I assert this judgement by Sprint network personnel is a serious error and Sprint is ignoring a severe technical problem to the active detriment of the world-wide internetwork. There is a knowing dereliction of TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL responsibilities occurring here, and this abrogation of administrative responsibility is causing my business palpable damage, with full knowledge of authorized Sprint network operational and security personnel and more than sufficient time for them to have responded. xc: Sprint Legal Dept, Software Tool & Die Counsel -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs(a)world.std.com | http://www.std.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989

Hey, anybody from PSI here? c.root-servers.net is out of its mind, so approx 1/9 of _all_ valid DNS requests on the Internet end up with NXDOMAIN!!! Dima P.S. Yes, I did send a message to psinet-domain-admin(a)PSI.COM a couple of hours ago.

But this is precisely why addresses should never be sold. How do you expect some mom & pop business or individual to compete with billion dollar companies that don't blink at a $50K service charge.

Non-profit IP Registry
by Kim Hubbard 03 Jan '97

03 Jan '97

Hello, Recently, there has been discussion concerning the need to keep IP issues separate from domain issues. The stability of the Internet in part relies on the careful management of the Internet Protocol addresses. The point has also been made that the management of the IP space should be put in the hands of those that depend on it - the users. Whether those users are ISPs, corporate entities, universities, etc., they should all play a role. To this end, Network Solutions, Inc. plans to create and initially fund a non-profit 501(c)6 organization to be known as The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) to manage the IP address space for the territories it currently administers, similar to the APNIC and RIPE regional IP registries. This organization will be a non-profit spin-off of the current InterNIC IP group. Network Solutions, Inc. will initially fund ARIN until fees are imposed and will offer continued financing until such time as it is a stable, self-sufficient entity capable of funding itself through its membership dues, registration and maintenance fees. Details on the proposed organizational structure and 1997 funding model are located at http://rs.internic.net/arin. Questions regarding the proposal will be answered on the ARIN mailing list. To subscribe, send mail to: listserv(a)internic.net with "subscribe naipr" in the body along with your first and last name. Regards, Kim Hubbard InterNIC Registry
