rata.vuw.ac.nz outage
by Richard Stevenson 23 Oct '99

23 Oct '99

Hi all I figured that you may all want to know that rata.vuw.ac.nz, one of the secondary nameservers for the nz ccTLD, will be out of service for an undetermined period of time tomorrow evening (Saturday 23 October 1999). As part of our Y2K preparations, management here has decided that all of our core systems should be shut down, powered off, left to cool, and then restarted, to see what breaks. This will all happen tomorrow night. The shutdown and startup procedures will be carried out by unqualified staff (i.e. not even Unix-literate) as an experiment in system documentation standards. I hope to see you all on the other side.

Well I would have given you more warning but when I first heard they were going to do this and queried it I misread the answer they gave me to say that rata wouldn't be included so Richards message was a little surprise to me as well. Rata is intended to be the last machine down and the first up so hopefully the disruption should be quite short. mark --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

zdraft1099.html (DRAFT ISOCNZ Zone Transfer Policy)
by Joe Abley 18 Oct '99

18 Oct '99

John, Some feedback for you. Background A primary name server is a name server that gets the data for its zones from local files. Changes to a zone, such as adding domains or hosts, are done at the Primary Name Server. A secondary name server gets the data for its zones from another name server across the network which is authoritative for that zone. The processes of obtaining this zone information (that is the database file) across the network is referred to as a zone transfer. Since bind 8 I believe the nomenclature that has been widely adopted is a "master" nameserver (corresponding to a master zone configured on that host) and multiple "slave" nameservers which keep their copies of the zone up-to-date using zone transfers. Probably makes sense to make use of the current terminology. Zone Transfers will be allowed provided: [...] I think that there are numerous reasons to perform a zone transfer which are not covered here, which would be consistent with the privacy act provision in point 2. It seems to me that the list is unnecessarily restrictive in presuming to know all the reasons an operator might have for performing a zone transfer. I also think that there is nothing wrong with statistics gathering. Understanding trends makes the network a safer place. I do not understand your earlier point that data for statistical analysis would be available on the web, but not by zone transfer... Perhaps I misunderstood it. I would rephrase point (3) to be something like: that it is not for the purpose of allowing, enabling or otherwise supporting the transmission of mass unsolicitited, commercial advertising or solicitatious e-mail. I would also make point (4) a little more general, and allow zone transfers to facilitate "operational network engineering". Is it reasonable for a request not to contain a detailed description of the reason for wanting to perform a zone transfer? What is a reasonable request? Is the idea of this policy to be prepared in the event that a flagrant misuse of the zone data occurs? If so, I think it's a good idea. If the idea is to implement an immediate set of restrictions on zone transfers, and to administer zone transfer access control (including all associated adds, moves and changes) for all secondary nameservers, then I remain slightly dubious :) Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Draft WHOIS and Zone Transfer Policies
by John Vorstermans 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

Greetings. The ISOCNZ Technical Committee has prepared two draft policies. 1. Directing Domainz to implement a WHOIS server. http://www.isocnz.org.nz/whoisdraft1099.html 2. A policy on Zone Transfers. http://www.isocnz.org.nz/zfdraft1099.html I hope to be able to ask the council to vote on these next week. Any comments or submissions to these draft proposals would of course be most welcome. If you wish to make a submission please email to john(a)actrix.co.nz These drafts have also been sent to the ISOCNZ members mailing list for comment.

Re: whoisdraft1099.html (DRAFT WHOIS SERVER POLICY)
by Joe Abley 15 Oct '99

15 Oct '99

John, More feedback, different draft. An WHOIS server is the Internet Standard way of access details from, in our case, the .nz database. "a" whois server, surely :) * It is a separate service. Separate from what? * It is currently provided by all major Name Service organisations, e.g. Ripe and APNIC etc. RIPE and APNIC aren't actually name service organisations; they're regional registries for ASN and IP number allocations. You might use CRSNIC, NSI, Nominet, etc if you're looking for examples of registries' and registrars' use of whois. WHOIS Policy * That NZIRL be required to put in place a standard WHOIS server on the .nz database. What needs to be carefully specified is the formatting of queries and responses to the whois service. There are a number of different "standard" query definitions and response formats currently in use amongst different registries. It would make sense for Domainz/ISOCNZ to approach the heavier users of their existing services and consult as to the query and response formats that are required. The Data in ISOCNZ WHOIS database is provided by NZIRL for information purposes, and to assist persons in obtaining information about or related to a domain name registration record. NZIRL does not guarantee its accuracy. NIRL should guarantee that the response returned to a query is consistent with the data stored by Domainz at the time of the query. (2) enable high volume, automated, electronic processes that apply to NZIRL (or its systems). I'm not sure what this means. What does it mean? ISOCNZ reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. I would imagine that you should qualify this by specifying how changes to the policy will be notified to users of the whois service. You might also refer to RFC812, which specifies nicname/whois. It's a little old (it refers to NCP/TCP!) but the core protocol is described there, such as it is.

RE: [ISOCNZ-Members] Draft WHOIS Policy
by David Harpham 15 Oct '99

15 Oct '99

ISOCNZ technical committee, Thanks very much for the opportunity to comment (and hopefully influence) the Zone transfer and Whois policies, *before having the council vote on them.* DRAFT ZONE TRANSFER POLICY (http://www.isocnz.org.nz/zfdraft1099.html) ========================================================== Great to see that "No reasonable request shall be refused." A/ In item 3. it explicitly lists "simply for the gathering of statistical analysis" as being undesirable. Surely we can remove this phrase. The no spam bit I endorse but no statistics is a bit closed shop isn't it.? B/ In item 3 it provides for 'private name' servers. What is the objection to (shadow) public but non authoritative name servers. Surely these are OK in an open environment.? An ISP may want to improve response times for it's customers and help unload the official authoritative name servers, this would help robustness with perhaps a greater diversity of machines and operators. If it is OK for Auckland University then why not an ISP? DRAFT WHOIS POLICY (http://www.isocnz.org.nz/whoisdraft1099.html) ==================================================== Starts off well pointing out the expectation that "It is used generally by system administrators." A/ Surely to be useful for an ISP administrator, the ISP needs to be able to be sure that it is the current authoritative contents of the official database but instead we have "NZIRL does not guarantee its accuracy". Also I do not believe that ISOCNZ policy should include a disclaimer on behalf of NZIRL, I think people need to be clear which hat is being worn when they write this. B/ Surely to be useful to ISP administrators, one of the major differences in using a Whois instead of a web page is that it *CAN* be used for efficient automated definitive lookups etc. Why specifically ""under no circumstances will you use this Data to ...enable high volume, automated, electronic processes ", I thought that was largely what the objective was. OVERALL ========= If we make the above changes (open statistics gathering, open shadow name servers, accuracy of whois with efficient automation) we might allow for ISP's wanting to provide equivalent or alternative services to the registry in an efficient manor, without them it looks very centralist.

Looking for Web servers to ping - network research
by Joerg Micheel 07 Oct '99

07 Oct '99

Dear NZnoggers, there are currently some research projects going on which try to measure the health and state of the Internet on a global and local scale. University of Waikato Computer Science is hosting a skitter server for CAIDA, the UCSD-based Internet Research Corporation. The skitter project involves pinging (ICMP traffic) a larger number of "interesting" hosts on the Internet and drawing some conclusions about reachability, network load, performance etc. These people are expanding their scope and would like to find new destinations they could ping on a regular basis. Web servers are of high interest. If you are a network administrator, web administrator etc, who is willing to support such research (and potentially receive valuable information from active network measurements), please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you for your time. Joerg Micheel ----- Forwarded message from Tracie Monk <tmonk(a)caida.org> ----- We might add that for these measurements, web server are preferred targets. Please do not include any routers or workstations in your lists of additions to the destination lists. We will add everyone's additions next week, then distribute a new dataset soon after. Thanks for your help. Tracie Dear Skitter-Asia Collaborators, We have now collected sufficient data using our initial Skitter destination list that we can now entertain making additions to the list. If you have a suggestions please provide us with the destination host name and IP address. We would prefer candidates with diverse characteristics. For example, we prefer to have examples from commercial, education, non-profit, network, and government sectors. Also destinations from different geographical locations are of interest. Typically we monitor only one host per domain name (i.e. caida.org, san.rr.com,) but exceptions are made for interesting destinations. Please send your suggestions to me along with any additional information you can provide.

whois.patho.gen.nz now working again
by Joe Abley 02 Oct '99

02 Oct '99

Hi, Just in case anybody missed it :) whois.patho.gen.nz is now reporting correctly again, pulling registration info from http://domainz.waikato.ac.nz/cgi-bin/DNZ-REGISTER. The extended breakage wasn't due to any re-formatting of the data returned by that script at waikato, incidentally; it was entirely due to the fact that the little awk script which drives whois.patho.gen.nz was using character class extensions which are specified in POSIX 1003.2, and implemented in gawk, but sadly misinterpreted by whatever awk OpenBSD installs in /usr/bin. Well, actually the extended-ness of the breakage was more to do with the fact that I wasn't bored enough to look at it until now. nz.whois-servers.net is a CNAME for tardis.patho.gen.nz, which is nice of them. Note that this is a highly non-production system, and is most definitely not what Peter needs to run his business :) Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

This event will commence in a week. Once again, here is the annoucement. -------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I appologize for duplicates. The next audit of the in-addr.arpa. tree will begin 01 october 1999. Since 1997, I've been walking the in-addr tree every quarter, looking for numbers of delegations, accurate delegations, and types and styles of error conditions. So... this is a heads up that you will be seeing zone transfers being generated by a couple of the collecter machines here. For those of you who utilize BINDs access controls, I'd appreciate your inclusion of the collector machines in allowed transfers. Queries will be from the following IP addresses: 128.9.160.57 and 198.32.4.13 If there are any questions or concerns, I'd be happy to talk about them. Past data has been presented at IEPG, Apricot and RIPE meetings. The expectation is that future data will be presented in the same and similar forums.

Yep. The difference in modem hardware and modem compatibility was out shadowed by the generic problems in the IOS that we experienced. At one stage, one cisco engineer suggested that the fact that the american models had an extra 2 modems than the maximum number of channels available to the NAS, vs. NZ, where the maximum # channels = total modems was masking quite a lot of the problems. Hence they seemed to not experience as many of the probs. in the US. The other major factor of course was that for the pilot, the 5200 had plenty of spare modems, and plenty of spare cpu. In reality, it was probably just a very bad pilot......

At my previous employer, we did that, with 5200 and Microcom v.34 (K56Flex not released by then.) All went well with 1 PRI from Clear dms100 and 1 fully equipped 5200. Ran perfectly. Put 3 x 5200's maxed out with Microcom 56K modems (but limited to v.34) and we went through 14 months of bug fixes and reloads and memory leaks and all sorts of shit. At one stage, the Telco switch was signalling the end of a call, and the NAS was ignoring it as it hadn't received a PPP or LAPM disconnect notice. This was of course fixed, memory leaks never were. Needless to say, the 5300's were actually much better when we trialled them, even with MICA. The point? I no no longer trust the accuracy of Pilot's. The pilot of 5200 went perfectly, the implementation was hell.

Petition for provision of WHOIS server for .nz

3q99 in-addr.arpa walk, first notice
by bmanning＠flag.ep.net 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Hi, I appologize for duplicates. The next audit of the in-addr.arpa. tree will begin 01 october 1999. Since 1997, I've been walking the in-addr tree every quarter, looking for numbers of delegations, accurate delegations, and types and styles of error conditions. So... this is a heads up that you will be seeing zone transfers being generated by a couple of the collecter machines here. For those of you who utilize BINDs access controls, I'd appreciate your inclusion of the collector machines in allowed transfers. Queries will be from the following IP addresses: 128.9.160.57 and 198.32.4.13 If there are any questions or concerns, I'd be happy to talk about them. Past data has been presented at IEPG, Apricot and RIPE meetings. The expectation is that future data will be presented in the same and similar forums. Online summaries can be found at: www.isi.edu/div7/people/bmanning.home/in-addr-audit.html --bill --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

29 Aug '99

The outage of ns99.waikato.ac.nz was not unexpected. But the length of the outage *was* unexpected. The University had to power down some of its comms gear at 4am Sunday so the power could be changed to a different phase on our UPS (we have a bad phase inbalance). Some machines had a previous history of not liking the main IP switch being powered off, especially those Intel boxes with DEC ethernet cards. And Domainz2 (aka ns99) is one of those. It took a long time to get ns99 working because it seemed to be destroying switch ports. Several switch ports had to be tried before one was found that ns99 liked :-) . I would like to point out that the only time connectivity to ns99 is critical is about 4:30pm each working day when the zone file are reloaded. At all other times ns99 has the secondary nameservers of *.nz backing it up. - Rex Croft ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 09:26:58 +1200 From: Chris Wedgwood <cw(a)f00f.org> Subject: nz99.waikato.ac.nz Looks like nz99.waikato.ac.nz is hosed -- any idea who gets called to restart this? -cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Assistance Required with survey of Internet survey
by Frank March 17 Aug '99

17 Aug '99

Folks: You may recall the APEC TEL study on Internet costs that I have raised on a small number of occasions. This is now known as ICAIS (for: International Charging Arrangements for Internet Services) and is proceeding. The group conducting the study are to issue a survey and we need 5 people from major ISPs in NZ to volunteer to assist by completing a pilot study in fairly short order (before mid September). There will be more responses sought at a later date. I have appended a copy of the original message below. I would appreciate anyone prepared to assist to contact me directly and I will pass the contact details on. I guess we need (if possible) someone from Telecom/Xtra; Clear; IHUG; Voyager and at least one more. Here is the original message sent to our APEC TEL delegate or 'point of contact' (POC), Mark Holman: <quote> From: Vernon VASU(a)TAS.GOV.SG on 17/08/99 08:37 AM Hi Mark, Have to bother you for 2 things - 1. ICAIS - its coming along and we are in the survey phase. The questionnaire will come out shortly. Its pretty hefty and we would need some responses in time for TEL20, where a prelim report will be given - so we are looking for a 2 stage approach towards gathering data. The 1st stage is to get about 5 responses from each economy in time for TEL20 and then more later. Because the questionnaire is quite large, we don't want to spring it on anyone unannounced, and on top of that, they might have questions as well. So the plan that Richard Thwaites, the consultants and I came up with is to request that POCs obtain the contact details of persons in a position to respond in 5 of the biggest ISPs in their economy and pass them to the consultants through me. When the quesionnaire goes out, the POC would then send it to the 5 people. ccing the consultants, who will follow-up with them. Does this sound ok with you? Sorry to spring this on you so soon after you have got back. <end quote> <second point deleted> Your attention is appreciated!

We are experiencing an unusally high number of reports from customers connecting to CLEAR and XTRA having performance problems FTP'ing to our web servers.

It was not uncommon to get the occasional report from an IHUG customer, but it seems CLEAR and XTRA have joined in :-) I dont have any traces as yet, just customer service stats recording large jump in calls on this topic.

We have 23 names registered in Friday, which have yet to be delegated to our name servers. Anybody know anything about this. There is no after hours contact for them, so assume we have to wait until Monday to resolve.

FYI, Patrick -----Original Message----- From: IANA [SMTP:iana(a)isi.edu] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 1999 7:32 AM To: iana-announce(a)isi.edu Cc: 'iana' Subject: Delegation of IPv6 address space Internet Community, After much discussion concerning the policy guidelines for the deployment of IPv6 addresses, in addition to the years of technical development done throughout the Internet community, the IANA has delegated the initial IPv6 address space to the regional registries in order to begin immediate worldwide deployment of IPv6 addresses. We would like to thank the current Regional Internet Registries (RIR) for their invaluable work in the construction of the policy guidelines, which seem to have general consensus from the Internet community. We would also like to thank the efforts of the IETF community and the support of the IAB in making this effort a reality. If you have further questions concerning this issue, please contact your RIR, or you may also contact the IANA at iana(a)iana.org. The policy guidelines can be found online at one of the Regional Internet Registries: http://www.apnic.net http://www.arin.net http://www.ripe.net This is an historic moment in the continued development of the Internet. Thank you for your valuable support and participation in the Internet community.
