FYI - looks like there is an issue with telecom authoritative DNS. Short version: it's currently broken. Long version: there is a whois/NS loop $ whois telecom.co.nz. ... domain_datelastmodified: 2014-07-28T13:54:33+12:00 ... ns_name_01: ns1.spark.co.nz ns_name_02: ns2.spark.co.nz ns_name_03: ns3.spark.co.nz $ whois spark.co.nz ... domain_datelastmodified: 2014-06-10T10:08:28+12:00 ... ns_name_01: ish4.telecom.co.nz ns_name_02: ish5.telecom.co.nz No glue records, so no way to resolve the NS IP's FYI: ish4.telecom.co.nz.

Experience with Open Wireless Networks?
by B. Morgan Murrah 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

Hello- I wanted to enquire for anyone who may have experience or had issues with people running Open Wireless Networks and/or have any particular view to the Open Wireless movement (https://openwireless.org/)? Alongside this question I am interested in gauging how much IP Addresses are used as a token of identity for legal purposes in practice. This for the purposes of research at the Law Faculty of Otago. My apologies if this is somewhat outside of the purview of this mailing list. Any insight gratefully accepted. Regards -- B.

Probably good advice, so I gave it a go. The first person I spoke to didn't know so I was passed on to another. The response I received was. The 'send.xtra.co.nz' server will reject any address that has not been registered even if an xtra.co.nz address has been used for authentication. To register such addresses, ring the Telecom Broadband Help Desk on 0800225598. I then raised the question of whether the MFD photocopiers had been catered for as many don't provide a particularly feature-full smtp client. The answer was "I don't know, please try it and see, if it doesn't work please contact us and we will try to get it working for you". These were better responses than I had expected but still leave me trying to explain to our customers what they need to do. Sigh...

I didn't get the original letter sent to the customer and I didn't know about this page. And yes you are right it pretty much gives all the answers. I learned about this page from this post: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/2014-July/020987.html I have learned that it is wise not to ignore email from Richard Naylor, especially when it is a reply to a post you’ve made to the list. > In relation to the MFDs from what I have heard, the ones that are broken are not that old <face-sad.png> Like I say, don’t put them anywhere near the Internet, or replace them with something with software written since the 1990s. I’m sure the NE2000 network card upgrade was expensive at the time, but really, I’m sure it’s done it’s dash. Anyway, I recommend that the rest of this conversation happen on Geekzone, there’s a thread on it here: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=39&topicid=150006 -- Nathan Ward

Xtra's email changes
by Glen Eustace 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hi, Can somebody confirm or deny please. I just had another query where a customer uses Xtra broadband, and is hence an xtra customer but are hosting their email with us. If they use their someone(a)xtra.co.nz email address to authenticate against send.xtra.co.nz, can they continue to use their own domain when sending email ? This seems, in my opinion, to be something that should be allowed but I can't test it as I am not an Xtra customer nor have access to an Xtra broadband connection.

Call for Presentations - DNS-OARC Fall Workshop, October 2014 Next OARC Fall Workshop will take place in Los Angeles, California, USA on October 11th to the 13th, the weekend before ICANN51. On Monday October 13th there will be a joint session with ICANN Tech Day. OARC is requesting proposals for presentations, with a preference for DNS data analysis tools and techniques. This workshop continues OARC's tradition of having meetings include a strong operational component. Presentations from DNS operators are particularly welcome. We'll also gladly accept talks from DNS researchers, as well as any other DNS-related subjects such as tools, visualizations, DNSSEC and novel uses of the DNS. If you are an OARC member, and have a sensitive topic you would like to present for members-only, we will accommodate those talks too. Adopting practice from other conferences, a section of lighting talks will be available for short presentations. Workshop Milestones * 20 July 2014, Call for Presentations posted * 21 July 2014, Open for submissions * 15 August 2014, Deadline for submission * 29 August 2014, Final Program published Details for abstract submission will be published here: https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/workshop-2014-10 The workshop will be organized on different tracks, depending on the topics. On Sunday October 12th we will have the more in depth technical presentations, and on Monday October 13th presentations that can benefit from a larger and broader audience. If you consider submitting a presentation, please let the Programme Committee know for which track in advance to help us organize the presentations tracks. You can contact the Programme Committee: https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/programme via (submissions(a)dns-oarc.net) if you have questions or concerns. Sebastian Castro, for the OARC Programme Committee (Please note that OARC is run on a non-profit basis, and is not in a position to reimburse expenses or time for speakers at its meetings.)
