well, the customer seems to have forgot that they submitted host registration for their domain name (sans-hostname) yesterday evening. idiocy is always the culprit. --- josh grubman / http://false.net/~jg "if you don't ask, i wont upset you"

root servers giving bad authoritative answers?
by joshua grubman 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

this is really quite odd... it appers that the root servers, we've tested a through f as of so far, are answering queries for one of our customer's domains with non-authoritative a record responses, as though query recursion were enabled. ideas, anybody? -j --- josh grubman / http://false.net/~jg "if you don't ask, i wont upset you"

It was my understanding, based in part on titles like Prime Minister, et al, that the Canadian form of government is technically a modified Constitutional Monarchy and not a Representative Democracy (hence the use of "per se").

Re: AT&T/Sprint problems - Does Verio have their own network backbone

I do know that Verio came in and bought out Spacelab.net, which was our provider. The color & designs of the invoices changed. All the staff stayed the same, none of my favorite engineers were lost. Verio might be building their "network" on top of existing local networks and then hauling this traffic to their peering providers.

aggregation tool wanted
by Randy Bush 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

i have a perl script which takes in the form 133.10.0.0 133.11.0.0 155.162.0.0/15 155.164.0.0/14 and tells me that i can aggregate the first two into a /15. unfortunately, the actual data as paths can differ 133.10.0.0 2914 2907 133.11.0.0 2914 2907 2501 155.162.0.0/15 2914 155.164.0.0/14 2914 so, what i would like is a tool which takes something like the latter syntax and tells me what the origin ass could aggregate. i.e. i am specifically not inclined to proxy aggregation at this point. Maybe CIDRadvisor does this, but I have been unable to make it do so. randy

Re: Dents -- Bind alternative?

(bind 9.0 is a fresh start, other than the configuration file parser and some of the underlying libraries.) coming, as it does, on the heels of a recent announcement from philips (.se) of a load balancing web proxying dns serving open source content server, it seems that folks everywhere at once are finding dns service an interesting area to work in. hopefully there will be a lot of code sharing, to the betterment of all. -- Paul Vixie <paul(a)vix.com>
