ipx to ip conversion
by Stephen Dolloff 07 Aug '97

07 Aug '97

I know that there must be others of you out there doing this. What would your use to get an ipx and ip network up on the internet. They are running the novell client (not windows for workgroups client) on win 3.1.1. We have tried Cisco (until they cancelled support for their ipx gateway) and we have tried putting the tcp-ip stack on, but it won't install without the workgroups client. -- Stephen Dolloff (Systems Administrator - McHenryCom)

NSI Bulletin 097-006 | New gtld server
by David H. Holtzman, Sr VP Engineering,Network Solutions,Inc. 07 Aug '97

07 Aug '97

As mentioned in the 5 year plan with the NSF and as has been discussed with IANA, there is now a gtld only DNS server that is serving com, net, and org. The name of the new machine is: j.gtld-servers.internic.net 198.41.0.21 It will be running in experimental mode while we ascertain operational impact. At some future point, we will be bringing up other machines to better distribute the load for .tld-related lookups. This machine will be temporarily housed at NSI till a suitable home is found. _____________________________________ David H. Holtzman Senior Vice President of Engineering Network Solutions, Inc.

Route Server Update
by Jake Khuon 07 Aug '97

07 Aug '97

Yesterday evening, a corruption occurred to the RADB's index files that caused the database to return incorrect data. As a result, the Route Server configuration files generated by the 8:30 pm EST config run were incorrect. The Route Server Next Generation project was able to restore correct peering to the Route Servers by using a four-hour-old config file. The IRR server on RADB has been shut down to prevent users from receiving incorrect data. We will notify you as soon as operations are back to normal. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by this outage. --- The RSng Team -- /*====================[ Jake Khuon <khuon(a)Merit.Net> ]=====================+ | Systems Research Programmer, IE Group /| /|[~|)|~|~ N E T W O R K | | Vox: (313) 763-4907 Fax: (313) 747-3185 / |/ |[_|\| | Incorporated | +==[ Suite C2122, Bldg. 1 4251 Plymouth Rd.

I'm not blocking anyone from port 25, *but* I have installed the ruleset in out sendmail to make it reject any mail that does not originale or terminate in our domain.
