BGP advice: Customer converting from static ISP connection to BGP
by CONWAY＠pjm.com 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

I'm looking for some independent confirmation from someone experienced in converting from a static routed ISP connection with the customer's netblock announced under the ISP's ASN to a BGP config where the customer has their own ASN and netblock. We're the customer, and we're getting conflicting info on what to expect during the conversion. Specifically, we're hearing conflicting things about how long it will take for the "world" to recognize our routes, whether or not there may be areas of the net "blackholed" from us for a while until things stabilize, etc. I realize this is probably off-topic for this list, so please direct any replies directly to me. If there is interest, I'm willing to summarize to the list. Chuck Conway conway(a)pjm.com

Contact for Yahoo postmaster ?
by miquels＠cistron-office.nl 25 Oct '01

Does anyone know who to contact if you've been blacklisted by the Yahoo SMTP servers? # nc -s195.64.68.40 203.199.70.34 smtp 553 Mail from 195.64.68.40 not allowed - user complaints of spam from this ip I tried postmaster(a)yahoo.com but got no reply. Weird that a mailservice this big blacklists people without giving them advance notice and without reading postmaster(a)yahoo.com .. Thanks, Mike. -- "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" -- Albert Einstein.

Re: MCI outage? (Telephone too, problems reaching PacBell)
by Frank Jimenez 25 Oct '01

I'm not really sure where the TAC 800s route through - but a large service outage in San Jose is just important enough to let the group know about - just in case a customer says TAC was down today... REPEAT: As far as I know, Cisco wasn't impacted by this, but just in case....

High risk profession - Internet companies
by Sean Donelan 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

I did not find an official source on the CDC or Washington DC Department of Health web sites. The Washington Post has a story today which includes Internet companies in a list of high-risk professions. I do not know if there is any specific information for including Internet companies in the list. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A42450-2001Oct23.html "Anyone with flu-like symptoms -- an elevated white blood count, coughs, body aches, respiratory problems -- would be given antibiotics if they work in a high-risk profession or had "credible" exposure to anthrax bacteria. That includes people who work at postal facilities, general mailrooms, media organizations, government offices or Internet companies."

Spacepark is one of those 100 "important" COs. So connectivity between regional Worldcom customers and the rest of the country may be impacted, but the rest of the country/globe is unaffected.

Alldomains.com registrar?
by Mike Batchelor 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 While investigating the reason for a "no such domain" bounce for a message bound for amgen.com, I found that amgen.com has no records in the gTLD servers. Furthermore, neither does Amgen's registrar, AllDomains.com. Has that registrar gone out of business and taken their customer domains with them? If so, isn't VeriSign and/or ICANN supposed to pick up the slack? Or is this just a coinkydink? - --- "The avalanche has already begun.

Modifying netsol host records?
by Bill Petrisko 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

If there is anyone at netsol who understands the concept of modifying host records, please contact me off-list. Apparently, the front-line tech support does not understand the concept, and submitting the template properly does not work (it does not match on host handle.) bill

Same here but I am in Verizon territory. I can't reach any numbers on MCI.

MCI outage? (Telephone too, problems reaching PacBell)
by David Schwartz 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

All of our circuits that require connectivity between MCI and PacBell are out (in the San Jose area). I'm hearing that it's a major MCI outage, possibly even global or at least regional. We're experiencing telephone outages as well, for example people with PacBell 'local long distance' can't reach our MCI voice lines either. Anybody know anything? -- David Schwartz <davids(a)webmaster.com>
