Nah - it would work with anything which did a DNS request. It would just depend on what sort of proxy system they have deployed. The implication is that they somewhere have a list of services which they will Globalify (there's a new word for you) and allow the rest to carry on directly. I wonder if they would be willing to post that list anywhere? =) Dean On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 2:52 PM, Simon Blake <simon(a)katipo.co.nz> wrote: > So the implication is that it is HTTP only?

Hosting suggestion
by Matthew Poole 09 May '12

09 May '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all Some of you may be familiar with transportblog.co.nz, which is probably the most significant NZ-centric transport blog. They're presently hosted in the US, but want to come on-shore because they're getting serious capacity constraints trying to serve a local audience from a foreign server. I've suggested that they want the usual suspects for hosing quality (APE connectivity since Auckland is their primary audience, a VPS rather than shared hosting, ideally a provider that discounts domestic traffic since the lion's share of their audience is within NZ), and they've asked if I have any suggestions. I don't, but figure this community will have their collective finger on the pulse of local hosting offerings. So, if anyone who has a suggestion could please contact me off-list (or go to the site and contact the admins) that'd be most appreciated. I will now leave you to your contemplation of beer and packets.

Fwd: [ECS Seminars] Seminar by Foh Chuan Heng

This may interest some of you. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ECS Seminar Notification <seminar-admin(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz> Date: Thu, May 10, 2012 at 10:56 AM Subject: [ECS Seminars] Seminar by Foh Chuan Heng To: ecs-seminars(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz Date: Wednesday 16th May 2012 Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Location: Cotton Club, Cotton 350 Foh Chuan Heng is scheduled to present a seminar about: Data Traffic Management in Data Center Networks School of Engineering and Computer Science Seminar Abstract: The emerging of cloud computing has triggered the demand for large data centers. One of the key building blocks of data centers is the network component. Data center networks have received considerable attention in research in recent years with efforts focusing on transforming the existing Ethernet technology to support data center networks. One key missing feature in Ethernet for data center networks is the support of lossless transmission. To address this shortcoming, a comprehensive data traffic management is needed for Ethernet to operate in a data center, and this need has prompted the creation of a number of standards including IEEE 802.1Qbb for priority flow control, IEEE 802.1Qaz for enhanced transmission selection, and also IEEE 802.1Qau for Ethernet congestion management. This talk presents our recent works on data traffic management in data center networks. We first introduce two layer-2 solutions to combat traffic congestion in data center networks. The first solution uses multipathing technique to balance traffic and prevent congestion at local links. When the offered load exceeds the network capacity, our second solution offers controlling of traffic flows based on their priority to avoid network-wide congestion. In layer-3, we introduce multiple congestion points TCP specifically design for data center environment. We show the significant performance benefit when multiple congestion points can be detected in a data path. The talk concludes with sharing of some ongoing works and preliminary results. Short Bio: Chuan Heng Foh (Ph.D, The University of Melbourne, 2002) is an Assistant Professor at the School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) since December 2002. Priority to NTU, he was a lecturer at Monash University for 6 months. Chuan Heng Foh is the author of 90 research papers and 1 patent. He is the Associate Editor of International Journal of Communication Systems and guest editor of International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, TPC member of many mainstream IEEE conferences. His main research interests include performances of computer networks, network coding, multimedia transmission, cloud computing, and data center technology.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 07 May '12

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.

Skytower + 3G?
by Brendan Baker 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Hoping someone on the right side of the tasman can help out with some advice I have a customer wanting to put some OOB equipment into a new POP at skytower auckland. Back here in Aus they've generally used a 3g connection. 1) Is there reasonable 3g access in skytower? are there any restrictions on cell/3g use? 2) Anyone recommend a pre-paid data service (NZ telecom, vodafone or other provider?) for say 12 months? Thanks in advance. Brendan Baker Suite 44, 2 Benson St, Toowong, Qld 4066. Australia T: +61 7 3871 1800 | F: +61 7 3720 8289 | M: +61 407 034 742 brendan.baker(a)opengear.com | www.opengear.com.au
