Digitalocean and recent issues
by Randy 07 Jun '15

07 Jun '15

Hello. I work with digitalocean "droplets" or virtual machines for my home business. While great for running cheap websites and server applications, I have noticed recently that I keep getting issues with my other VPN droplet I setup. Firstly, I kept getting blocked by google, it claims automated queries. I don't browse google too often.. Also had an issue with outbound mail on another droplet. Now I'm blocked by... Pizzahut.com Can't order a pizza over my VPN. One might think that there is some virus, but I assure you, there is not, Ive ran tcpdum captures and realtime captures for wireshark, I don't notice any other traffic other then the traffic I initiate by browsing, or doing a few search terms. And I've always paid for my pizza order! Is any one else experiencing issues like this? is there something I'm missing, I have no idea but the pizzahut thing has got me very irked.

Issue with cache @ 198.6.100.25 (UUNET)
by Phil Daws 07 Jun '15

Hello: Hopefully somebody may be able to help us ? Our domain appears to be having issue at 198.6.100.25 and showing the following: innovot.com. 120 IN MX 10 domain.not.configured. Yet when I dig @8.8.8.8 or @8.8.4.4 all works absolutely fine. Our secondaries are all with DNS Made Easy and we did switch from GoDaddy to FastHosts as the registrar. Would somebody be able to flush the cache on the domain please ? Thank you in advance. -- Phil Daws (null)

Verizon FiOS outbound mail TLS problem - Superpages people here?
by Jay Ashworth 06 Jun '15

06 Jun '15

Anyone on the list who does outbound delivery for Verizon (which I think is actually Superpages)? A client has smart-hosted outbounds to *one* of his customers bouncing suddenly with Deferred: 403 4.7.0 TLS handshake failed. *My* inclination is to think that a cert expired somewhere, but his non-tech contact there tells him that the tech people think things are ok. I'm trying to get a mailer log fragment from them. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Anyone know if tunable SFPs exist? I've googled around on this, but only found fixed wave-length SFPs. Or of a tunable SFP+ that can operate in SFP port as 1G? Frank

I'd go through questions on routing and what not, then at the end I would ask questions like, "Who was Jon Postel? Who is Larry Wall? Who is Paul Vixie? What are layers 8 & 9? Explain the RTFM protocol. What is NANOG?" Those answers (or long silences) told me more about the candidate than most of the technical questions. --------------------------------------------------- Now that's a good interview question series. It shows that the person cares, rather than just doing a job. scott ps. I never thought of RTFM as a protocol, but I like it. It's a protocol between engineers. The conservative in what you send part... :-)

interviewing [was] Re: eBay is looking for network heavies...
by Scott Weeks 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

------------------------------------- It became a tongue-in-cheek interview question. What was boggling was the number of *IE's that failed trying to explain traceroute's mechanics. ------------------------------------ One thing I have done in the past is encourage the person to succeed at the interview, rather than see how they fail. I do this because some folks don't interview well, but they really know their stuff or have other attributes that make them desirable, such as a great work ethic and a desire to learn. One way to do this is find out how they'd go about solving a problem, rather than what find out what they've memorized. :: We need a pool on what percentage of readers just :: googled traceroute. Exactly. I've read ras' paper several times, but I don't memorize it. If I need to look something about it up for some reason, I know where to go: https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog47/presentations/Sunday/RAS_Traceroute_… Ask me in an interview when I'm nervous and I stumble like a nerd asking a girl out on a date. Say something a little silly then try to recover only to say something more dumb finally trying to recover from both only to say something stupid and finally throwing up my hands in disgust knowing I'm not going to get the date/job. :-) This happened to me around 6-8 months ago. scott
