You may have noticed Netgate experienced some network problems this morning. The outage combined with clueless telecom DNS design meant that reverse name resolution for 202.37.240.0/23 which they delegate to us failed for approx 30 minutes.
Non-authoritative answer: 37.202.in-addr.arpa nameserver = defiant.netgate.net.nz 37.202.in-addr.arpa nameserver = reliant.netgate.net.nz 37.202.in-addr.arpa primary name server = defiant.netgate.net.nz responsible mail addr = soa.netgate.net.nz serial = 2002070901 refresh = 43200 (12 hours) retry = 3600 (1 hour) expire = 7200000 (83 days 8 hours) default TTL = 86400 (1 day)
37.202.in-addr.arpa nameserver = defiant.netgate.net.nz 37.202.in-addr.arpa nameserver = reliant.netgate.net.nz defiant.netgate.net.nz internet address = 202.37.245.17 reliant.netgate.net.nz internet address = 202.37.245.20
If you were also a victim of this needless stupidity, please contact telecom and demand they arrange for slave name service for above zone from two additional well connected name servers OUTSIDE their network. That way next time their stuff breaks, DNS queries have a fighting chance of being answered. -PWM "Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something!"
