To our head office, so I would be looking to maybe have a box in a rack with a pool attached so I can then VPN the traffic back to head office, as pictured below.

Completely off topic but I cant really think of anywhere better to post it. Does anyone know of an ISP/Telco that will rent a modem pool ? I am looking at providing our sales reps with dial in access, and thought there may be someone on the list that's used this kind of service.

[Fwd: Warning: spammer seeking services]
by Nic Bellamy 05 Oct '04

Hi all, it was suggested to me that this warning might also be NZNOG-worthy. His message to me triggered my spammer-o-meter, so I did some digging: -----Forwarded Message----- From: Nic Bellamy <nic(a)bellamy.co.nz> To: nzlug(a)linux.net.nz Subject: [nzlug] Warning: spammer seeking services Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 11:56:31 +1300 Just in case anyone here gets an enquiry from this chap regarding setup of mail servers: Ralph Juliano/Raphael Giuliani <r.juliano(a)verizon.net> Atlas Sales Suite 515, 2700 Market Street (aka. Crestview Apartments) Wilmington Delaware 19802 USA Phone +1-302-762-2828 Fax +1-302-762-5232 He's a spammer. He also seems to lack a sense of humour, as he didn't appear to find my sending him a picture of his apartment funny in the slightest, nor the advice to get a real job. Be vigilant.

Waiting for the > resolution of the issue of "walking the zone" appears prudent. The debate about "walking the zone" has centered on whether this is actually an issue, luminaries such as Joe Abley and Bill Manning have suggested that it is not. Others, well DPF, has suggested that it is. ----------------------------------- The debate is much wider than this. It amounts to whether or not a technical standard circumvents a wider policy issue relating to access to the zone file and WHOIS data. It is an international debate - although as far as .nz is concerned it is an issue of local Internet community concern. There is a tension between those concerned with the technical issues relating to the DNSSEC standard and those concerned with public policy issues - the problem plainly arises from a failure on the part of the standards setters to take the wider policy issues into account... Unfortunate, but certainly understandable. Whether .geek.nz should have a difference policy set from the other unmoderated .nz 2LDs was debated at the time it was established... The outcome has been well canvassed on this list and I will not repeat it. The policy relating to release of the .nz zone file has been recently reviewed and all received views taken into account. The zone file will be released at the discretion of the NZOC and (ultimately) InternetNZ Council provided that there is a clear public interest and the party concerned is prepared to sign up to strict usage criteria. Timing (not the principle) of DNSSEC implementation is also under constant review. All of these matters have been debated in public, there are no hidden agendas, the only concerns have been the best stewardship of .nz in the interests of all Internet users and, especially, those reliant on the .nz DN space According to Robert Gray: <quote>That the society wishes to ignore the views, however well informed, of a "handful of NZNOGers" speaks volumes about the need for industry membership of InternetNZ. Why pay money to be ignored when you can be ignored for free.</quote> To which the only response I can make is that democracy does have its downside for those who find themselves in the minority. ---- Frank March Chair, .nz Oversight committee _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog http://www.govt.nz - connecting you to New Zealand central & local government services Any opinions expressed in this message are not necessarily those of the Ministry of Economic Development.
