Notification of NZRR Database changes
by NZRR Database Notifications 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

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. --- OBJECT BELOW CREATED: aut-num: AS24183 as-name: NZRR-AS24183 descr: DTS1 descr: WIX peering at '202.7.0.143' descr: see Citylink RT job #3580 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR import: from AS9439 accept ANY AND NOT fltr-bogons export: to AS9439 announce AS24183 notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: milton(a)dts.net.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20051109 source: NZRR

by Craig Whitmore 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

People have been talking about this company lately... pricecutter.co.nz/brands4less.co.nz strike again and sends out their new batch of blatent spams today Recieved a load of spam this afternoon to email addresses which have not been used for over 7 years old. (The info on their website says they've only been running since 2005) pricecutter/brands4less registered to John Kyle (Cannot find any company owned by him) Calypso Records (cannot find any company called that) Address: 68 Lincoln Road, Henderson (This is The Lincoln Road Bible Chapel ) (I live 2 mins away and I checked !) Phone Number: 09 828 7890 (invalid number) (invalid exchange) Email: zxd(a)xtra.co.nz (when you email it you get back saying "Your email gas been removed. This is an automated message please do not reply." (same with Looks like same people as fitnessgear.co.nz with very similar style ads and invalid domain contacts and same hosting/ip address!! Be aware of this company.. (Search for brands4less.co.nz on google) I've also emailed their kliksend.com about this spam (or are they the same people and ignore me) Also.. can Domainz contact this customer of theirs and get some valid details for their domain as they are breaking Domainz's T&C and also I believe the DNC's for having false details. Thanks Craig Talking for Myself

DNS Servers and peering
by Webmaster 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

A naive question: With the limiting of recursion (which appears to be a Good Thing) does it make it more (or less) important to have good network diversity (hint:peering) ? Or does it not matter? Richard >>> "Simon Allard" <simon.allard(a)staff.ihug.co.nz> 11/04/05 8:00 PM >>> Rob is correct (as always, Hi Rob!) There has been a plee on the ISP jungle drum network, to limit recursive DNS servers to protect the internet from evil doers. IHUG will be following very shortly, will post on here and give some notice before limiting the use of 203.109.252.42/43.

Inspire Net name servers
by Mark Seward 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

ns1.inspire.net.nz (203.114.128.1), and ns2.inspire.net.nz (203.114.128.2) now accept recursive and cached queries from Inspire Net customers only. Queries for domains that ns1 and ns2 are authoritative for are unaffected. Mark Seward Inspire Net Ltd.
