Enterprise DNS providers
by Ken Gilmour 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hello any weekend workers :) We are looking at urgently deploying an outsourced DNS provider for a critical domain which is currently unavailable but are having some difficulty. I've tried contacting UltraDNS who only allow customers from US / Canada to sign up (we are in Malta) and their Sales dept are closed, and Easy DNS who don't have .com.mt as an option in the dropdown for transferring domain names (and also support is closed). Black Lotus looks like the next best contender, has anyone had experience with these or any other recommendations for how we can transfer a .com.mt to a reliable hosting provider during the weekend? Thanks! Ken

Choice of network space when numbering interfaces with IPv6
by Zaid Ali 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

SO I have been turning up v6 with multiple providers now and notice that some choose /64 for numbering interfaces but one I came across use a /126. A /126 is awfully large (for interface numbering) and I am curious if there is some rationale behind using a /126 instead of a /64. Zaid

IPv6 BGP MIB
by Matthew Petach 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Apologies in advance for the question, as network monitoring is only slightly relevant to network operations... I've been digging and poking and scratching my head, and from what I've been able to find, there doesn't seem to be an IPv6-aware BGP4 MIB in existence. The closest item I could find was a draft MIB that has already expired: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2-10 It also seems to be missing an identifier for where it would sit within the MIB tree, as noted by this section which just leaves it as "XXX": DESCRIPTION "The MIB module for the BGP-4 protocol. Copyright (C) The IETF Trust (2010). This version of this MIB module is part of RFC XXX; see the RFC itself for full legal notices." -- RFC Editor - replace XXX with RFC number REVISION "201002010000Z" DESCRIPTION "This MIB updates and replaces the BGP MIB defined in RFC 4273." ::= { mib-2 XXX } Does anyone know if there is a working variant of this lurking out there that can be used for tracking IPv6 BGP neighbor information, or is everyone running their v6 networks blindly, as compared to their v4 networks? Any pointers for working or semi-working implementations, especially on Juniper platforms, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Matt

AT&T or AT&T Wireless contact
by Andy Ringsmuth 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Any chance there's someone buried deep within AT&T or AT&T Wireless that could contact me off-list? Specifically with regards to wireless and caller-ID? I've got an issue I've pursued through several channels and am making zero progress despite assurances to the contrary. --- Andy Ringsmuth (402) 304-0083 andyring(a)inebraska.com

Maybe it has to do with whether the magic smoke is on the inside or the outside of the box. <grin>
