Hear hear Barry! Telecom have gone and started something here. De-peering is definitely worse than being anal about your DNS, but I think it stinks. The Internet in NZ has lost a lot of it's former free love. :P Us down here in Christchurch pay an almighty sum to a handful of providers to get bandwidth down here, and we don't put these kinds of restrictions in place. In Auckland where bandwidth flows like water, they really must be desperate to save some traffic and hardware costs. I guess the customers don't see the backhanded business that goes on in the technical world, so nobody is loosing face over it. Perhaps Juha could write it up. ;) Erin Erin Salmon Managing Director Unleash Networks Ltd Mobile: 021 877 913 Landline: 03 365 1273 www.unleash.co.nz -----Original Message----- From: Barry Murphy [mailto:barry(a)unix.co.nz] Sent: 4 November 2005 7:19 p.m. To: Mark Seward; nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] Inspire Net name servers And everyone follows suit (not only inspire, but I hear telstra clear's also doing it), what's the point! ISP's worried a little DNS traffic is costing them money, maybe hardware doesn't cope; well it has in the past! What's this country coming to, first de-peering, now dns restrictions, it would appear the internet for NZ is getting worse and worse as the years go on!
