The New Zealand Network Operators' Group The New Zealand Network Operators' Group (NZNOG) has no king, president or formal membership. At present it consists of the subscribers to this mailing list, which anyone is free to join. At last count the list had just over 160 subscribers, with the count growing by around five each month. (The addresses aitken(a)voyager.co.nz and stevebar(a)ihug.co.nz have been removed. The users of those addresses are welcome to re-subscribe with addresses which work.) The NZNOG mailing list is provided through a server at The University of Waikato, and is administered by an employee of Telecom NZ Ltd. Neither of these organisations (nor the 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. Mailing List Archives A full archive is available at http://list.waikato.ac.nz/archives/nznog/ To search the archive, see http://list.waikato.ac.nz/archives/search.html (and remember to select nznog). Subscribing to the List To subscribe to the NZNOG list, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz, where the body of the message reads subscribe nznog There are at present no restrictions on who may subscribe to the list, or even on who may post to the list. Digest Mailing List If you don't wish to receive postings as they are sent, you can instead subscribe to the nznog-digest mailiing list, on which all postings are sent out in a single "digest" every couple of days. Other Activities NZNOG does not at present have other regular activities than this mailing list, though some Auckland subscribers have been known to meet over beer. Some subscribers are likely to attend the Uniforum NZ 2000 conference in Hamilton in the first week of October.

Mail flood from 202.46.160.18 (www-wlg.domainz.net.nz)
by Mark Seward 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

Just a heads up in case any other ISPs are seeing the same thing.. I've had to block inbound traffic from www-wlg.domainz.net.nz - the load average on our primary MX was at a nice healthy 97 thanks to an extremely large number of connections originating from this mail server. Thankfully, we were dropping it all on the floor because the sender domain doesn't exist (why not?): ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<4Service(a)wlg-iis.domainz.net.nz>, relay=www-wlg.domainz.net.nz [202.46.160.18], reject=501 5.1.8 <4Service(a)wlg-iis.domainz.net.nz>... Domain of sender address 4Service(a)wlg-iis.domainz.net.nz does not exist Domainz, please investigate and explain. I suspect whatever caused this will have left a large amount of mail queued on 202.46.160.18 waiting to be sent on.

whois.radb.net: transition to RPSL from RIPE-181
by Chris Wedgwood 26 Jul '00

26 Jul '00

I guess most people who use whois.radb.net have already received this notification, but for those who haven't... --cw This RIPE-181 version of the database WILL BE DECOMMISSIONED on August 7, 2000, and all customer sites need to transition to the new RPSL database. Please forward this message to the appropriate staff in your organization responsible for routing policy. On 11/1/99, at 12:01:00 a.m., the default RADB database converted to RPSL. The new RPSL database server is available at: whois.radb.net 198.108.0.18 The old (and now deprecated) address was: whois-ripe181.radb.net 198.108.0.11 If you have comments or questions about the transition to RPSL, please see our Web page: http://www.radb.net Or send email to db-admin(a)radb.net. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Hello from AusBONE
by Paul Montgomery 24 Jul '00

24 Jul '00

My name is Paul Montgomery, and I am the CEO of AusBONE, which is a peering organisation in Australia (don't worry, this is not a spam). I've been watching progress at APE, WIX and NZIX with interest, since we are doing similar things in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide. I'll be lurking on this list in future, but I thought I should say hello. One of AusBONE's main activities has been to link up interstate peering exchanges within Australia. The possibility exists to connect NZ with Australia in this network, but I'm not sure about how affordable this can be. Trans-Tasman tails are cost-prohibitive, as I'm sure I don't need to tell you. If any of you have thought about this and have come up with any workable ideas, I'd love to hear from you. Also, I've put up a page on our site listing peering activities in NZ and Asia - "peer review" of this document would be appreciated. http://www.ausbone.net/apac.htm -- Paul Montgomery, CEO @ AusBONE, the ISP peering co-operative.

[OT] [spam] Vodafone SIM For Sale
by Joe Abley 19 Jul '00

19 Jul '00

Hi, As part of my last-minute, poorly-planned departure from New Zealand, I have a Vodafone contract to give away. There are 30 months remaining on the current contract, which is attached to the Daytime 400 plan ($190/month, 400 free minutes any time). The contract can be changed to any other Daytime plan, e.g. Daytime 40 ($35.51/month, 40 free minutes) with no additional fees. I'll even throw in a lovely yellow Alcatel one-touch-easy handset, at no additional cost. So, if anybody was already planning to buy an after-hours support phone and fancies knocking twelve months off the contract, drop me a line -- we can just sign the contract over. You might want to change the number, of course :) Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
