*pats his Alteon Layer 4 switch*
Ok, to expound a little here, I am using the content matching features of the Alteon AD4 to redirect any incoming GET request that has the string "default.ida" in it - this is possible as any traffic coming in internationally comes in through the switch at some point before it hits the customer network. Yesterday I had around 3,000,000 hits over a 12 hour period, the requests are all being redirected to a linux box which is being used to log and check that things are all working ok still (i check occasionally to ensure that there are no valid requests to default.ida) For some reason yesterday there was still some leakage but since this morning its been reasonably tight as far as any requests getting through. I am currently only redirecting for our 210.48.0.0/17 and 210.185.0.0/19 but am hoping to increase this to cover all our ranges at a later point, the reason for this is that the linux box capturing the redirects started to croak a little with 1000+ requests per second :) Also, the filter will only protect against requests coming in internationally - stuff across APE will bypass the Alteon and arrive directly to the end user's server. If I had a couple more AD4's then this wouldnt be the case :) -- Steve. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
