Well, it's nice that he posted something, but why did he have to wait until 16 hours after the problem occurred [1]? Someone else noticed the problem and sent a message to NANOG in UNDER 3 MINUTES [2]. Holtzman also made no mention in this notice about how a sysadmin overrode the "quality assurance" mechanisms or that they have made any effort to prevent future occurances of the same problem(s).
To join this with another thread, I think it'd be a Good Thing[TM] if the InterNIC were to start up an outage list...it sure would be popular. My only request (should any 'NIC people be reading this and taking me seriously, not that I think I deserve to be taken seriously too often) is that it be free of advertisements (even for NSI) or new payment schemes or /anything/ that isn't an outage that affects the provider community.
Too little, too late.
But, better than most of us have grown accustomed to expect. I really don't think anybody here is trying to say that the InterNIC is now perfect, only that they've improved. ********************************************************* J.D.
