Domainz issue
by Grant Zanetti 28 Apr '04

Currently anyone using the staff proxy here at Iconz is being refused access to the domainz website. Any and all attempts to contact someone so find out why this is have been ignored. Can someone from Domainz drop me an email to explain why we are being blocked? Thanks. -- http://the.mani.ac.nz

Telstra Clear routing 210.54.142.0/24 incorrectly
by Peter Simmons 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

Hi, Perhaps there is someone from Telstra Clear on this list that can help. We (Strongnet) own the 210.54.142.0/24 range it is hosted at United Networks datacentre in Northcoat, Auckland. For some reason or other the routers that Telstra Clear 'Tempest' customers go through is routing traffic to that ip range as over its international connection. This means that those customers have to pay international rates for traffic that goes to our network. Obviously they should only have to pay national traffic rates as it is national. Traffic going from our network to the Telstra Clear 'Tempest' customers is routed nationally. Only traffic coming from the Telstra Clear 'Tempest' customers to our network is being routed internationally. It seems that only Telstra Clear customers are having this problem. So if anyone knows how to fix it or is in a position to fix it please do. Regards, Pete

Not strictly related, but I know that a lot of people on here have had grief as a result of the little toad's actions. So, take a read of http://www.nzherald.co.nz/latestnewsstory.cfm?storyID=3563220, and gloat at the well-earned smack-down.

We started having problems more than a week ago, with queues of 10K and more building up over the day through to Xtra. At night, this was 2-3 times as bad. We managed to (finally) get through to CTSHelp, who advised us that Xtra had made a policy decision to only accept 2 connections per source IP/domain. This was effectively throttling our mail down to around 2-3 messages per second. Obviously an attempt to limit the impact of the recent Sober work and variants on xtra's part...

Try more than 48 hrs, and apparently it was worse on Tuesday!

Xtra's "No known problems line"
by Neil Gardner 22 Apr '04

I'm not advocating anything illegal but... If anyone on here has the artistic skills, the access and the guts, replacing that "No known problems" with a picture of an Ostrich with it's head in the ground, and a speech bubble with "There are currently no....".... Well, I'm not sure I could imagine anything funnier :-) N. -- Cheers - Neil Gardner Networking and Security Support Engineer Renaissance Brands (09) 968-3681 / (021) 746-345

Chuckle - I _KNOW_ it's just a coincidence, but less than 15 minutes after lampooning Xtra's generally useless status page about never being updated, they have managed to list the intermittent (!) email problem, only 26 hours after it was first notied on this list! -- Cheers - Neil Gardner Networking and Security Support Engineer Renaissance Brands (09) 968-3681 / (021) 746-345
