Colocation in Wellington
by Joe Abley 15 Dec '99

15 Dec '99

This is barely on-topic for this list, so apologies if it offends anyone :) I have a client who is looking to colocate a Cobalt RAQ2 somewhere well-connected in Wellington -- i.e. with a provider who peers with plenty of other networks, preferably within fast ethernet range of WIX. If anybody has colo in Wellington that they'd like to tell me about, please do (maybe by private mail -- I'm happy to summarise to the list if other people are interested). Thanks!

{96|97}.203.in-addr.arpa delegations from ns1.waikato.ac.nz
by Joe Abley 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

Has anybody managed to get an in-addr.arpa delegation from 96.203.in-addr.arpa or 97.203.in-addr.arpa processed recently? I've been trying to get a couple through for the past month, but no luck so far. It seems possible that Rex Croft's departure from UoW has caused the procedure for these delegations to change somewhat (at least, whatever APNIC normally do doesn't seem to have worked). If anybody knows a good way to make this happen quickly, I'd be keen to hear it :) Joe -- Ua lawa küpono ka hakahaka pä o këia pä malule --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

ISOCNZ to continue profit taking on DNS revenues
by Peter Mott 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

> 7. MOVED: (David Zanetti): > > "That the existing 1996 Council policy stating that the > DNS be run on a non-profit basis be ratified by this > AGM as binding policy on the Council" > > MOTION LOST (Against 26/For 20/Abstentions 7: John > Vorstermans, Gavin Adlam, Keith Davidson, Ernie Newman, > Judith Speight, Leo Neal, Graeme Osborne) Above from annual general meeting of ISOCNZ. Clearly council dont wish to stick with the original policy of operating the DNS on a cost recover basis with any operating excess being applied to DNS related activity. If industry does not stop these people soon, it will be too late. regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2Day.com -/- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZIX and DOMAINZ outage - Sunday 12-Dec1999 4:30am
by Stephen Daniell 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

>From 4:45am to about 5:00am Sunday morning the 12-Dec-1999 there will be a power outage in Waikato University's main computer room. This will cause an outage for the NZIX and for all of the DOMAINZ services during this time. This is due to a serious fault found in the UPS this morning. Unfortunately the fault is in the bypass switch so we are unable to bypass the UPS to keep the Computer room running while we work on the UPS. Sorry about the short notice, but the nature of the fault means we may lose power to the Computer Room at any time until the fault is fixed. We will try to keep the down time to a minimum.

Hey there fellow Noggers.
by James Tyson 07 Dec '99

07 Dec '99

So, I am looking for a new job. I really dont like being rostered on to work 4pm to midnight from the 21st through to the 31st. I have experience with very complex networks (ie, ihug's dumb one). Cisco IOS is a breeze, Solaris/Linux/BSD/what have you. I can do it all. You want to hire me. Prospective employers please email me.

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.

A plea for some clue
by 2Day Operations 30 Nov '99

30 Nov '99

If you work for an ISP that employs people without clue to answer the telephone and accept orders, please spread the word that .com domain names do not have authorisation keys. We are getting dozens of calls a day from people asking for keys when they simply do not exist. As an ISP, our preference is that providers taking delegation send the template to NSI or enable their customer to do it for themselves. Sending the customer back to us to change the delegation is not usually helpful. Having said that, as an NSI premier partner, if there are any providers with specific instances of problems with .com names, change of delegation or billing, please fee free to contact us. We have 24/7 access to a real person at NSI to fix problems. We do not charge for this service. regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2Day.com -/- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

RE: .nz zone only in fair condition!
by Warwick Glendenning 30 Nov '99

30 Nov '99

Peter Whilst I was a bit suprised myself especially when it said the software was developed in Iceland, I thought maybe it was a joke. However in my opinion I find your email to domainz what I "personally" consider a little outside the spirit of these mailing lists. Why not direct your concerns to the author of the mail, not all of us on the list! Thanks Warwick -----Original Message----- From: Peter Mott [mailto:peter(a)2day.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 1999 12:13 AM To: isocnz-l(a)isocnz.org.nz Cc: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: .nz zone only in fair condition! Looks like many of us received an unsolicited commercial email from DOMAINZ promoting a little Windows based tool that checks the health of your zone. I downloaded and ran it against .nz and here is what it told me:- THE ZONE IS IN A FAIR CONDITION You should be aware of these issues: * The delegation information for the zone is incorrect. The name server "dns1.clear.net.nz." is only listed in delegation data The name server "dns2.clear.net.nz." is only listed in delegation data The name server "ns1.clear.net.nz." is not listed in delegation data The name server "ns2.clear.net.nz." is not listed in delegation data The name server "ns1.waikato.ac.nz." is not listed in delegation data A dot is possibly missing in the host name "ns2.clear.net.nz.nz." A dot is possibly missing in the host name "ns1.clear.net.nz.nz." The A record "ns1.clear.net.nz." is duplicated The A record "ns2.clear.net.nz." is duplicated The A record "ns99.waikato.ac.nz." is duplicated The A record "rata.vuw.ac.nz." is duplicated The A record "gorgon.xtra.co.nz." is duplicated OK, so playing with toys aside, did anybody note the dispensation given to DOMAINZ by ISCONZ that allows it to use the .nz technical contact data to promote a commercial product? ISOCNZ WHOIS POLICY FORBIDS "Using any information contained in the WHOIS query output to attempt a targeted contact campaign with any person, or any organisation, using any medium." The policy clearly needs to state, except DOMAINZ, who may send not just a short message with a link to a web site to all and sundry, but yes a full page of hype for your enjoyment. We have a number of DNS products we promote to our New Zealand customers, but we dont use UCE to do it, nor do we use the WHOIS contact data as a source for sales promotions. Shame on Domainz! regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2Day.com -/- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
