Petition for provision of WHOIS server for .nz
by Peter Mott 07 Sep '99

07 Sep '99

Its been several years since requests commenced for an industry standard WHOIS server providing public access to .nz registry data. We still do not have one. 2day.com is now preparing a petition to present to ISOCNZ requesting it direct the registry company to have an official .nz WHOIS server up and operating within 60 days. Internet providers and other interested organisations who are interested in signing such a petition are invited to write to me privately to obtain a copy of the document to sign and return to us for compilation.

Hey Alan... happy to take this to the council as I agree it is worth us doing. In fact it has been discussed and some policy which covers Zone Transfers, which has also been discussed in nznog, will need to incorporate such a service. This policy should be posted in the not-to-distant future. Look forward to receiving the Petition.

3q99 in-addr.arpa walk, first notice
by bmanning＠flag.ep.net 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Hi, I appologize for duplicates. The next audit of the in-addr.arpa. tree will begin 01 october 1999. Since 1997, I've been walking the in-addr tree every quarter, looking for numbers of delegations, accurate delegations, and types and styles of error conditions. So... this is a heads up that you will be seeing zone transfers being generated by a couple of the collecter machines here. For those of you who utilize BINDs access controls, I'd appreciate your inclusion of the collector machines in allowed transfers. Queries will be from the following IP addresses: 128.9.160.57 and 198.32.4.13 If there are any questions or concerns, I'd be happy to talk about them. Past data has been presented at IEPG, Apricot and RIPE meetings. The expectation is that future data will be presented in the same and similar forums. Online summaries can be found at: www.isi.edu/div7/people/bmanning.home/in-addr-audit.html --bill --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

The outage of ns99.waikato.ac.nz was not unexpected. But the length of the outage *was* unexpected. The University had to power down some of its comms gear at 4am Sunday so the power could be changed to a different phase on our UPS (we have a bad phase inbalance). Some machines had a previous history of not liking the main IP switch being powered off, especially those Intel boxes with DEC ethernet cards. And Domainz2 (aka ns99) is one of those. It took a long time to get ns99 working because it seemed to be destroying switch ports. Several switch ports had to be tried before one was found that ns99 liked :-) . I would like to point out that the only time connectivity to ns99 is critical is about 4:30pm each working day when the zone file are reloaded. At all other times ns99 has the secondary nameservers of *.nz backing it up. - Rex Croft ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 09:26:58 +1200 From: Chris Wedgwood <cw(a)f00f.org> Subject: nz99.waikato.ac.nz Looks like nz99.waikato.ac.nz is hosed -- any idea who gets called to restart this? -cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Frank You can send it to me, although if its as large as they suggest, we cant gaurantee it will be answered. My only question (that I hope will be answered in the info that will be sent) is what is the objective of the study and therefore why should we participate?

Assistance Required with survey of Internet survey
by Frank March 17 Aug '99

17 Aug '99

Folks: You may recall the APEC TEL study on Internet costs that I have raised on a small number of occasions. This is now known as ICAIS (for: International Charging Arrangements for Internet Services) and is proceeding. The group conducting the study are to issue a survey and we need 5 people from major ISPs in NZ to volunteer to assist by completing a pilot study in fairly short order (before mid September). There will be more responses sought at a later date. I have appended a copy of the original message below. I would appreciate anyone prepared to assist to contact me directly and I will pass the contact details on. I guess we need (if possible) someone from Telecom/Xtra; Clear; IHUG; Voyager and at least one more. Here is the original message sent to our APEC TEL delegate or 'point of contact' (POC), Mark Holman: <quote> From: Vernon VASU(a)TAS.GOV.SG on 17/08/99 08:37 AM Hi Mark, Have to bother you for 2 things - 1. ICAIS - its coming along and we are in the survey phase. The questionnaire will come out shortly. Its pretty hefty and we would need some responses in time for TEL20, where a prelim report will be given - so we are looking for a 2 stage approach towards gathering data. The 1st stage is to get about 5 responses from each economy in time for TEL20 and then more later. Because the questionnaire is quite large, we don't want to spring it on anyone unannounced, and on top of that, they might have questions as well. So the plan that Richard Thwaites, the consultants and I came up with is to request that POCs obtain the contact details of persons in a position to respond in 5 of the biggest ISPs in their economy and pass them to the consultants through me. When the quesionnaire goes out, the POC would then send it to the 5 people. ccing the consultants, who will follow-up with them. Does this sound ok with you? Sorry to spring this on you so soon after you have got back. <end quote> <second point deleted> Your attention is appreciated!
