Outside the NANOG charter, but given the current circumstances, this seemed to be a reasonable forum for suggestions on solving this problem. --- Subject: Web aid Date: Thu, 01 Sep 2005 09:05:22 -0500

This is something that until a few minutes ago I never even considered as part of this whole Hurricane fallout. I got a call from a high school friend who lived in New Orleans. He's in Florida now. There is a emerging need to use the web to help scattered folks get status from schools, businesses, etc. Many many servers are gone. People are at relatives homes and are trying to use the Internet to get status. They want to swing DNS for their kids school to a new server but cannot contact their sysadmin who has the accounts at Network Solutions. Does anybody have an idea how to solve that? But, I'm starting to setup a template BSD machine to provide basic web vhosts and squirrel mail. We're going to start with his kids school. Here's all that is currently left electronically: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:009iQtpHviwJ:www.stuarthall.org/+&hl=en&lr=&strip=1 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Tatarsky paul@tatarsky.com Sysadmin Consultant (608) 441-7365 http://www.tatarsky.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
