Hi All
We needed to invest in new NTP servers and we've decided to make them available to the NZ sysadmin community to use as well. This is not an open public service as we have to have a minimal AUP to stop the servers being overwhelmed but you should find you can use them for pretty much all you need without contacting us.
The servers use GPS as their primary time sources and have rubidium oscillators for stability if the GPS signal is lost.
There's a web site that explains everything here: http://ntp.net.nz/
cheers
Jay

I've registered a new domain name, ānaru.net.nz, to test how one of
these names will fare in our ASCII oriented world.
I've signed the zone and registered it via dlv.isc.org
I've tried to subscribe to this list using the email address
asjl(a)ānaru.net.nz and I get told:

Your subscription is not allowed because the email address you gave is
insecure.
I'm quite sure this is only the first of many problems I will encounter.
The New Zealand Network Operators' Group
The NZNOG mailing list exists to facilitate discussion among operators
of networks in New Zealand on matters relevant to network operators as
described in the list's Acceptable Use Policy. That policy appears later
in this posting.
The NZNOG Trust is registered as a charitable entity under the Charities
Act. The trust exists to provide the legal framework needed to do jobs
like operating the bank account which holds the money which allows our
annual conferences to happen.
Other than the four trustees, the NZNOG does not have a formal membership.
Conference
NZNOG holds New Zealand's only annual technical networking conference.
See
http://drpeering.net/AskDrPeering/blog/articles/Ask_DrPeering/Entries/2010/…
or http://2010.nznog.org/ to see what you missed.
Other Meetings
See http://thursdaynightcurry.com/ if you live in or near Auckland or
Wellington.
Operators' Contact List
See http://www.nznog.org/?page_id=6 for operational contact details for
most New Zealand ISP's. These are intended for use by other network
operators, not by most customers.
Internet Exchanges
See http://www.nzix.net/ for details of exchanges in operation.
About This Mailing List
This list has around 1100 addresses subscribed. You may only post to the
list from a subscribed address. A number of people subscribe
addresses which do not receive email purely to allow posting from them.
You may choose to receive postings as they come in, or just to receive
daily "digests". See the bottom of the page
http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog/ to change the form in
which you receive postings.
The NZNOG mailing list is provided through a server at The University of
Waikato, and is administered by employees of APN Online, Citylink, and
The University of Waikato. None of these organisations, nor any
administrator, is responsible for its content.
NZNOG Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy
The NZNOG mailing list exists to provide a forum for the exchange of
technical information and the discussion of implementation issues
that require cooperation among New Zealand network service providers.
In order to continue to provide a useful forum for discussion of
relevant technical issues, users of the list are asked to respect the
following guidelines.
1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical
issues.
2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is
appropriate.
3. Discussion unrelated to these topics is not appropriate.
4. Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged.
5. Postings that include foul language, character assassination, and
lack of respect for other participants are unacceptable.
6. Blatant product or service marketing is unacceptable.
7. Postings of a political, philosophical or legal nature are
discouraged.
8. Postings to the list should be in ASCII or MIME encoded as
text/plain. Attachments should not be sent to the list. To
present a document, a suitable URL may be referred to. For
documents of general interest, the use of proprietary file
formats is discouraged.
9. Breaches of list etiquette should be dealt with privately with the
offending list user, and should not result in complaints being
sent to the list.
10. A person repeatedly breaching list etiquette shall receive warnings
from the list administrator. A further breach after the second such
warning within thirty days shall result in the offender being
unsubscribed from the list. Other action may also be taken to block
postings to the list by the offender. Any such unsubscription is to
be immediately announced to the list.
Mailing List Archives
A full archive is available at http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/ .
Any message sent to the list will be archived and made available on the
web automatically. Changes are not made to the archive on request,
though the administrators remain happy to assist the Office of the
Privacy Commissioner should any complaint be laid with that office.
One way to search the archive is to use google and prefix your search
with site:list.waikato.ac.nz .

Good Morning,
This email is to advise members of NZNOG of a consultation being undertaken that you, or your organisation, may be interested in commenting on. Apologies if you have already received a similar email via another mailing list.
.nz is preparing to introduce the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) to strengthen the security and reputation of the .nz domain name space.
Vulnerabilities exist in the Domain Name System (DNS) that allow miscreants to re-direct, intercept, or modify users’ Internet traffic, each with potentially devastating consequences. DNSSEC has been developed to add to the security features of the DNS, and to mitigate those vulnerabilities.
Attached are the consultation paper and a background paper that explains DNSSEC in more detail and why we are implementing it. The consultation paper does not go into detail about process or how DNSSEC will be implemented at a technical or operational level but rather has a number of proposals relating to how we are planning to have DNSSEC operate within .nz policy.
The papers can also be found here:
http://dnc.org.nz/story/consultation-dnssec-implementationhttp://dnc.org.nz/content/DNSSEC_Background_Paper.pdf
All comments received in this initial consultation will be considered, and draft changes to the .nz policies developed. There will then be a subsequent consultation on those proposed amendments to the .nz policies related to the DNSSEC implementation.
Comments on the consultation paper should be sent to info(a)dnc.org.nz by midday 11 October 2010.
If you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Paul.

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.
