Internal DNS for Private IP addresses
by Roy Hockett 03 Apr '98

03 Apr '98

We are looking to use Private ip address space (rfc 1918) for internal networking equipment, and I thought I would check with this group to see if anyone has used them for such a purpose, and if so, did you create DNS entries (atleast forward, since reverse is not assigned by the internic) for them. I realize that only those attached to our network could access the devices at these DNS name, and resolved ip address, this is the desired result, and those that attempt to access them from the outside would connect either to device on their netowrk with resolved private ip address, or not connect to anything. This is really for ease of use and not having to remember the actual ip address, which is what DNS was designed to do. I welcome any and all input. Thanks, -Roy /********************************************************************/ /* Roy Hockett * Telephone: (313) 763-7325 */ /* Network Engineer, * FAX: (313) 763-2180 */ /* ITD, * Internet: royboy(a)umich.edu */ /* University of Michigan * */ /********************************************************************/

Re: Lame RFC1918 delegations

Thanks for the pointer Walt. Rodney, These delegations were being transitioned and there was a communication problem during the transition. That should be corrected (the last check earlier this morning had the correct servers in whois but the root zone may need to wait for tomorrows push) by no later than tomorrow. If this does not make it to the NANOG list, please feel free to forward as appropriate. --bill

Lame RFC1918 delegations
by Joffe, Rodney 02 Apr '98

02 Apr '98

Has anyone noticed a problem with the reverse name entries for the RFC1918 addresses (this is a problem for some proxy/firewall apps that like to log a name with the ip address)? The primary is apparently blackhole.isi.edu.

First, note my sig and then look at the alleged name of my business in the article. The company is PC-Easy...we provide on-site computer services. Randy and I have exchanged several emails and he's called me at least three times...you'd think he'd get the name right. Second, based on the emails I gave him, the article is extremely weak. I haven't seen the print version, perhaps it's better. But a good analogy would be to have presented a reporter gruesome, in-depth details of a messy murder and see the entire story be "Man killed". Third, the information is wrong. I told Randy about the Martianconsulate.com record, I've been tracking them since last September, and to the best of my knowledge they've never listed their address as anything but North Wales, PA. They did, however, use the 555-1212 phone number. Incidently, that number was deleted from the record by NSI...which makes the record even MORE in violation of the Registration Agreement...and it's still an active record. Still....it's better than no publicity at all, I suppose. Spam: it's not just for breakfast anymore.... Dean Robb PC-Easy On-site computer services (757) 495-EASY [3279]

The problem was definitely **not** due to link congestion as we have stats on the utilization of the OC3s. The rerouting which occured as a result of this problem has been corrected. We continue to monitor our OC3 links for any further problems. If you identify any additional issues, please feel free to submit a trouble ticket with our Network Data Center at 1-800-870-9007.

The method described in the message is known as Quantum Teleportation. It is being seriously researched and has been demonstrated in controlled experiments. The following links will take you to sites that describe the theory better than I ever could. I only study Quantum Physics for fun. :) It is a real effect, and while the story is based in reality, the announcement that Lucent has succesfully built a device that uses this method of communication is quite doubtful though.
