The Precision Backhoe Team is back. This afternoon, they hit a 2" diameter natural gas line outside a DC Public School building. The school was already closed for parent-teacher conferences; they were cancelled. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz(a)nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433

Port 43 Whois Announcement
by Newell, Tom 17 Nov '99

17 Nov '99

An FYI of an operational nature....... --Tom Director of gTLD Programs NSI Registry ########################################## Redirecting Port 43 Whois The following change is being made to comply with the recently negotiated and signed agreements between the U.S. Department of Commerce, ICANN, and NSI. Effective December 1, 1999 Network Solutions will be redirecting port 43 (rs.internic.net) Whois from the NSI Registrar Whois to the NSI Registry Whois. The NSI Registry Whois can currently be found at whois.nsiregistry.net. After this occurs, port 43 Whois will show the following information: domain name, registrar, Whois server, registrar referral URL and the names of the name servers associated with the domain. To obtain registrant and domain name contact information, users will need to refer to the Whois service provided by the registrar for the domain name. Send questions or comments to whois(a)nsiregistry.net.

This isn't nonsense. Its a necessary part of having multiple registrars. This whois is used to avoid namespace collisions between registrars, as well as find the appropriate registrar for a domain. My question (should just test I suppose) is if the rwhois client will automatically query the delegated whois server for the rest of the information. Now that might be useful... --Dean Around 03:40 PM 11/16/1999 -0500, rumor has it that William Allen Simpson said: > >What nonsense is this? > >The registrant and contact information should be in the same >records as the name servers.

Bill Simpson asked: "Please quote the exact language in the MoU that describes removing the "who" from whois?" The requirement for changing Port 43 whois responses is detailed in Amendment 19, Para 3A as available at the ICANN web site at: http://www.icann.org/nsi/coopagmt-amend19-04nov99.htm 3. InterNIC A. Within six months from the effective date of this amendment (the "Transition Period"), NSI shall transfer the internic.com, internic.org and internic.net SLD names to the Department of Commerce. Beginning within twenty-one days of this amendment and until NSI has completed such transfer, NSI shall provide port 43 Whois access to registry data through rs.internic.net. Such Whois service shall return, in addition to the requested registry data, a message stating: "Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information." This requirement was inserted at the request of the registrar community to the ICANN board. The NSI Registry is committed to working within the IETF process towards a more ubiquitous solution (ala draft-faltstrom-whois-02.txt). --Tom -----Original Message----- From: William Allen Simpson [mailto:wsimpson@greendragon.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 1999 3:40 PM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Cc: whois(a)nsiregistry.net Subject: Re: Port 43 Whois Announcement What nonsense is this?

Sneaking IPv6 onto the Internet???
by Henry R. Linneweh 16 Nov '99

(Source: Network World Fusion) In its battle to get IPv6 widely deployed, the Internet engineering community is pursuing an infiltration strategy reminiscent of the Trojan War. http://www.idg.net/go.cgi?id=186618 Now this is novel and I would not have brought it to anyones attention except this is the 5th time in the last 3 days this issue has come up. -- Thank you; |---------------------------------------------------| | Thinking is a learned process so is UNIX | |---------------------------------------------------| Henry R.

IOS 12.0.7S version
by Hyunseog Ryu/Brookfield/Norlight 16 Nov '99

16 Nov '99

Hi, folks Is there anybody use IOS 12.0(7)S version? We got PA-2T3+ card for Cisco 7507, and upgraded its software from 11.2P to 12.0(7)S. After that, suddenly routing didn't work. We use BGP for external connection and OSPF for internal connection. But traffic from OSPF didn't go to outer Internet at all. Is there any factors that I need to adjust? We tried to traceroute from internal network to Cisco 7507, and it was fine. When we tried to traceroute from Cisco 7507 to outer Internet, it was fine. But when we tried to traceroute from internnal network to outer Internet, there was timeout at Cisco 7507. When I use "sh ip route", it looks fine. I don't know why. Please let me know the reason or solution. Thanks in advance.
