Spotted this earlier: http://blog.cloudflare.com/deep-inside-a-dns-amplification-ddos-attack "NZ Attack Sources: 167 AU Attack Sources: 1237" Are the local open resolvers seen as a problem?

Andy Linton is now an OpenFlow expert
by Josh Bailey 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

It took 2h. About 30m to make an OpenFlow controller PC out of bunch of trash, and boot my controller DVD. "ed" wasn't available on my controlled DVD so I made Andy use nano to configure it. That slowed us down quite a bit. 90m to put OpenFlow firmware on a 3780 switch, including walking up and down the hill to VUW get 1G SFPs. So if you have any questions about whether OpenFlow/SDN works/forwards packets in hardware - ask Andy. He knows. And has a live CD controller.

Xtra mail admins around?
by Tim Price 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Can someone who looks after Xtra's mail systems please contact me. We're seeing problems with Xtra customers delivering mail to a domain recently transferred from Xtra to DTS. It looks like there are some legacy records left behind from the removal process. Regards Tim Price Network Operations Manager DTS Limited.
