Either this is just me, or: I am seeing nothing but a bunch of "null connects" from mts1.internic.net , the host at NSI that mails out most domain and host updates (and requests). The last successful mails from mts2 and mts1, seem to be at least 2 days old. I also have trouble getting host modifications through - something that has become critical as networks are getting renumbered at an ever faster and busy pace. Meanwhile, domain registrations are coming back as complete in 20-60 minutes. What's up with the host template processing ? Anyone else wishing to comment how unpredicatable host registration times are messing up their renumbering schedules and plans (there is instances where serving both old and new IP numbers for registered hosts is impractical, mostly due to neighboring machines in the network not being able to reach said servers, as they had to be relocated with /32 routes carried around the IGP to make them visible to the rest of the AS) ? bye,Kai -- kai@conti.nu "Just say No" to Spam Kai Schlichting Palo Alto, CA Sophisticated Technical Peon Kai's SpamShield <tm> is FREE! http://SpamShield.Conti.nu | | LeasedLines-FrameRelay-IPLs-ISDN-PPP-Cisco-Consulting-VoiceFax-Data-Muxes WorldWideWebAnything-Intranets-NetAdmin-UnixAdmin-Security-ReallyHardMath
