Why is xtra.mail in AU?
by Don Gould 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Doing some traceroutes to the xtra mail servers, it would appear they've moved all their mail handling to AU. Does anyone have any idea why? It would seem nuts to use international capacity to move all the mail from NZ --> AU --> NZ. Or am I (and others on some other lists) just missing something? Cheers Don

Auckland Datacentres
by Skeeve Stevens 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Hey guys, I'm looking for a DC in Auckland. I know nothing about the NZ internet carrier scene - such as who has connectivity where and so on. But I'm looking for a DC with wired access to APE and cross-connect ability to TNZ. A neutral DC would be nice, but as I said, I don't know your scene over there and if these even exist. Is there anything else I should know? .Skeeve -- Skeeve Stevens, RHCE eintellego, General Manager skeeve(a)eintellego.net / www.eintellego.net Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 / skype://skeeve -- NOC, NOC, who's there?

Notification of NZRR Database changes
by NZRR Database Notifications 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. 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. --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS17435 descr: advertised to AS9439 by WorldxChange Communications LTD - AS17435 members: 58.28.0.0/16^16-29, 202.49.240.0/22^22-29, 202.14.217.0/24^24-29, 202.49.59.0/24^24-29, 202.50.176.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: lsmith(a)wxc.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060120 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS17435 descr: advertised to AS9439 by WorldxChange Communications Ltd - AS17435 members: 58.28.0.0/16^16-29, 118.90.0.0/16^16-29, 202.49.204.0/22^22-29, 202.14.217.0/24^24-29, 202.49.59.0/24^24-29, 202.50.176.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: cbarr(a)wxc.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070824 source: NZRR --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS17435 descr: advertised to AS9560 by WorldxChange Communications LTD - AS17435 members: 58.28.0.0/16^16-29, 202.49.240.0/22^22-29, 202.14.217.0/24^24-29, 202.49.59.0/24^24-29, 202.50.176.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: lsmith(a)wxc.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060120 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS17435 descr: advertised to AS9560 by WorldxChange Communications Ltd - AS17435 members: 58.28.0.0/16^16-29, 118.90.0.0/16^16-29, 202.49.204.0/22^22-29, 202.14.217.0/24^24-29, 202.49.59.0/24^24-29, 202.50.176.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: cbarr(a)wxc.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20070824 source: NZRR

Incident Reporting
by Jonathan Brewer 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hi Folks, Occasionally things go wrong, resulting in daytime outages for end users. In the aftermath, some of the service providers we work with are very thorough, providing standard reports with a reasonable amount of technical detail. Others keep quiet, or try to pass the blame to their suppliers. I'm interested in hearing about what ISPs are doing for incident reporting - in general or specific, on or off-list. If I get a fair amount of replies, I'll send some stastics back to the list. Cheers, Jon

Kiwicon 2k7 - Registration Open, First round of speakers announced
by Adam Boileau 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hi NZNOG, Preparations for Kiwicon 2k7 - New Zealand's first Hacker Con, 17-18 Nov, Wellington - are well under way. Media coverage is brewing[1] and things are shaping up to be a really good event. At this time, the Kiwicon Team is pleased to announce the first round of presentations[2], which include topics (hopefully) of interest to an NZNOGgy sort of crowd. So, come along and drink a beer with the hackers, "security consultants" and researchers who use, abuse and pwn your networks ;) If you'd like to present, the CFP[3] is still open, but spaces are going fast. Registration is now available[4], and we'd encourage you to do so to help with our planning. See y'all then. -- Regards, Adam on behalf of the Kiwicon Team [1] http://www.smh.com.au/news/security/hackers-do-the-haka/2007/08/20/11874621… [2] https://kiwicon.org/presentations [3] https://kiwicon.org/ [4] https://kiwicon.org/register

Oh indeed it does..

Orcon's Nameservers Changes from the 21th of August
by Craig Whitmore 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hi NZNOGers On the morning of 21th of this month Orcon will disable recursive name server lookups from non-Orcon IP Ranges. This will mean that people outside our network using our name servers will not be able to look up DNS for any domain which we are not authorative for. This should not cause any issues at all unless people have hardcoded our name servers (60.234.1.1/60.234.2.2 or 210.55.12.1/210.55.12.2) into their machines and are not on our network. Thanks Craig Whitmore Systems Administrator Orcon Internet.
