Thanks for all your replies. It is now working ok, with and without the dot at the end, thanks. Looks like the problem has cleared now. The reason I asked the original question is that the icq client failed instantly to connect. Usually it sits there for a while and then times out if the icq network is temporarily unreachable.

strange results from nslookup of icq.mirabilis.com
by Adrian Smith 22 Oct '01

Can anyone tell me why nslookup is adding my domain name on to an nslookup of icq.mirabilis.com ... and then trying to do a lookup on that ? Is it because mirabilis.com are not returning any nameserver records in the authority records ? planet:~$ nslookup Default Server: planet.natlib.govt.nz Address: 192.122.171.130 > set debug > icq.mirabilis.com Server: planet.natlib.govt.nz Address: 192.122.171.130 ;; res_nmkquery(QUERY, icq.mirabilis.com, IN, A) ------------ Got answer: HEADER: opcode = QUERY, id = 63705, rcode = NXDOMAIN header flags: response, auth. answer, want recursion, recursion avail. questions = 1, answers = 1, authority records = 1, additional = 0 QUESTIONS: icq.mirabilis.com, type = A, class = IN ANSWERS: -> icq.mirabilis.com canonical name = icq.fes.mirabilis.com ttl = 600 (10M) AUTHORITY RECORDS: -> mirabilis.com ttl = 600 (10M) origin = dns-01.icq.net mail addr = hostmaster.icq.net serial = 2001101601 refresh = 600 (10M) retry = 300 (5M) expire = 604800 (1W) minimum ttl = 600 (10M) ------------ ;; res_nmkquery(QUERY, icq.mirabilis.com.natlib.govt.nz, IN, A) ------------ Got answer: HEADER: opcode = QUERY, id = 63706, rcode = NXDOMAIN header flags: response, auth. answer, want recursion, recursion avail. questions = 1, answers = 0, authority records = 1, additional = 0 QUESTIONS: icq.mirabilis.com.natlib.govt.nz, type = A, class = IN AUTHORITY RECORDS: -> natlib.govt.nz ttl = 86400 (1D) origin = dns1.natlib.govt.nz mail addr = networks.natlib.govt.nz serial = 2001102309 refresh = 3600 (1H) retry = 1200 (20M) expire = 1728000 (1728000) minimum ttl = 86400 (1D) ------------ *** planet.natlib.govt.nz can't find icq.mirabilis.com: Non-existent host/domain > At first I thought it was a problem with our dns, but I have repeated the same query from other NZ sites nameservers and seem to be getting similar results.

G'day Adrian, nslookup will append the "default" domain name to the given host if the given host does not contain a trailing "." Perhaps that is what you are seeing when you set debug. I assume that you do not see strangness when debug is off (I don't).

The weakest link
by Michael Newbery 17 Oct '01

17 Oct '01

I'm trying to identify throughput speeds of typical low (and not so low) end network devices. With carrier networks that outperform many people's infrastructure, I'd like to have some sort of a list that says Cisco 1605R <p Mbps Cisco 2600 <q Mbps Win95/98 <y Mbps TCP WinME/2K <z Mbps TCP Any pointers to where such info might be found? Real-world is what I'd prefer. We hit this even with the cable modems where 2Mbps was faster than many PCs could make use of (three years ago). It's got worse. We can put Smartbits testers on links during commissioning, but that's not really helpful to the customers, who want at least some reasonable pointer as to why going from 64kbps to 1Gbps isn't giving them the throughput they expected. I thought I'd start with Scott Bradner's old Harvard tests, but I can't find them anymore. -- Michael Newbery Technical Specialist TelstraSaturn Limited Tel: +64-4-939 5102 Mobile: +64-29-939 5102 Fax: +64-4-922 8401 --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Yup - In was fine - but out was most strange. It appears to have come mostly right now as Netgate have repaired whatever was broken.

Xtra not accepting abuse emails???

Just read today's aardvark. I must admit I haven't had any reason recently to report abuse to xtra. Bruce reports: "Attempts to send reports to abuse(a)xtra.co.nz or security(a)xtra.co.nz now produce an automated response that says, in part: Xtra has automated the procedures for reporting allegations of abuse and security breaches involving our network or customers. From 14 August 2001, we no longer accept complaints via email. Please complete the appropriate web forms at <URL supplied>" So is that true?
