New whois proxy - geektools
by Rodney Joffe 25 Mar '99

25 Mar '99

You can now use www.geektools.com as a proxy for command line whois queries instead of just the web interface. It is the same 'smart' whois that will automagically parse the query, and get the data from the known authoritative whois server for that tld or domain. Currently queries for about 80 tld's. We've tried to optimize and fix the code to handle the current internic.net whois goings on - including taking care of retries for stuck requests. Use www.geektools.com or whois.geektools.com. so... whois -h whois.geektools.com 'query' or whois 'query'@whois.geektools.com Enjoy!

Re: OUTAGE: TCG milwaukee and chicago - reason why...

I could not get information on whether this was a Ah, that does explain the strange responses I was getting when I asked about it. Usually when its a cut caused by a third-party, the customer service reps love to tell you. When it is a proceedural error on the part of on of their own techs, they use the passive voice that mistakes were made, and they've been fixed. But this time they wouldn't say anything, and wanted to know why I wanted to know. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

Network Topology
by Victor Alba 25 Mar '99

25 Mar '99

I need the expert advice from all of you in this issue since my experience is insignificant compared to some of the members of this list. In your experience what is better in terms of connectivity to the Internet. My boss wants me to order 4 T1's (maybe 6) to different providers to be 'completely' sure that our NOC will 'always' be up & running. I've already got 2 T's right now, I really don't know how' 'wise' it is to add another 4 or 6 from 'different' providers. Would it be better for us to get them from the same 2 upstreams we've already got? Would it be better to get a Fractional T3? I need some convincing arguments for him to understand, can anyone help? -Victor
