DNS format error: their fault or mine?
by Richard Hector 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Sorry if this is off topic. I'm seeing a bunch of this (and have been for ages) in my bind logs: http://pastebin.com/ydL0RhG4 (sample line for archives, when paste goes away: Nov 28 23:14:58 jet named[28427]: DNS format error from 120.204.202.200#53 resolving ns-os1.qq.com/AAAA: invalid response ) My understanding is qq.com is a Chinese IM service (which my flatmate uses). Dig doesn't tell me about any error; it merely doesn't return any AAAA records. Any suggestions on: - whether I should care, or just filter it out of my logcheck email - whether there's something I can fix - whether there's something I can do to figure out in more detail what's happening Note that this is my caching NS, on my home network (behind NAT) Thanks, Richard

24 Nov '12

Hi all, I posted on this list in August, and do appreciate the replies I got then, however being still without a job, I'm forced to ask again if anyone knows of any senior network or sysadmin roles in Auckland (preferably CBD area). I have a number years of experience with Cisco kit, Linux scripting/automation/sysadmin, in both education (13 years) and ISP (5 years) environments. Please contact me off list if you know of anything. Thanks

youth outreach?
by Sean Linton 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Recently Vikram Kumar Chief Executive at InternetNZ highlighted some of the youth outreach initiatives that InternetNZ is involved with. For example work with NetSafe, the 2020 Communications trust, and ICT-Connect. I think its timely activity. I have a question to anyone who is interested. How has the NZNOG community previously ensured that when a few key people decide to do something else the organisation doesn't get into trouble, so new blood keeps coming through? - Sean

please keep an eye out
by Richard Naylor 17 Nov '12

Just a small advisory. I bought 1.5km of fiber for NetHui this week and it was stolen from the supplier (Corys/Mastertrade) before I got there to collect it. Its 12 core D-series, single mode LSZH cable cut as 2x750m. The CCTV footage shows it stolen from the loading bay. So if you get offered some cheap fiber, I'm sure Corys would be very pleased to hear from you. Replacement fiber arrived friday pm in one length. After a lot of winding and splicing, the van is all loaded ready to roll tomorrow. I was suspicious that the folks mad keen on cable laying through the roaring 40's to South America, had nicked it as a part of their project. Richard
