NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes.

Akamai HK problem
by Nathan Ward 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

Akamai (or ANC perhaps) seem to be having some problems in HK at the moment, and for whatever reason, we're being directed to their servers there. An example site that doesn't work well is images.apple.com. We worked around this by finding someone nice who was getting non-HK addresses for Akamai hosted properties, and forwarding our recursive name lookups to them. NB. Only do this if you have low load on your recursive servers, and make sure you check with the owner of the people you direct your lookups to first. -- Nathan Ward

Opt in / opt out requirements for mailing lists
by Andy Linton 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

With the new legislation re spam do the members of this list need to be seen to be validated in some way? I know we're all grownups here who can ask to be taken off a list if we want to etc but is there any requirement to be seen to do the right thing? What about other lists that people operate?

It was pointed out on another list that having a URL listed in your email sig could deem a message to be commercial if that site relates to the content of the message.
