Anybody interested in doing some kind of get-to-know-you beer-related
exercise in Auckland some time next week?
Anybody here from KCBBS, Xtra, Iprolink, Titan, Sinesurf, Cybernet, ....?
Who have I missed out? Sorry about missing you out. Bear in mind that it's
Friday :)
If people _are_ interested, how about going for next Wednesday at
Galbraith's? 7pm?

At the NZNOG meeting at Waikato we discussed domain names for the Internet Exchanges in Auckland and Wellington. I have registered the domain names aix.net.nz and wix.net.nz on behalf of the NZ Internet community. The registered Administrative contact for these domains is the Internet Society of New Zealand (ISOCNZ) who will hold these domains on behalf of the community. The technical contact is dns(a)netlink.co.nz - the name servers will be changed shortly to include servers at Clear. None of this set up is designed to exclude anyone else of course. We'll change the administrative processes as needed but gives us something to start with. Joe Abley is going to obtain some IP numbers for IX purposes. These can be used in conjunction with the above names. I'm happy to provide the IN-ADDR.ARPA DNS for those as well.

I understand a number of ISPs in NZ would be interested in using a route policy database to allow communication of this information and, in particular, to enable automated maintenance of filters to control route policies. Recently we have had a Computer Science student run an informal survey of some ISPs on this issue and again there was an interested response from most; he has also been revisiting the situation in respect to running a database using the "Route Arbiter" code. I didn't get to the NZNOG meeting (perhaps this was discussed there), but could "NZNOG" consider this question and perhaps encourage the application of such coordinated controls on route information? In principle I believe the IRR could be used for such a purpose, and it may be good practise to load AS/route object information in there in any case (it is especially important for multi-homed networks), but maybe there should be a NZ based service for NZ information.

Hi all, I would be interested to know what scenarios people have for using such a database. NetGate currently has a fairly complex routing table, and yet our boundary routing inside New Zealand still remains fairly simple. I am also slightly concerned that having these entries in a database would infer some "right of ownership" for certain address space, which would do the concept of hierarchical routing a server disservice. From my experience, any time someone enters a new entry in the RADB, even if it is a "black hole" from someone elses CIDR block they feel it gives them a right to use that given address space indefinately. We may also have to consider asking for the right to administer sub-delegations of our APNIC registered addresses ourselves. I am not against a router server, I am however keen to ensure it offers tangible benefits to the users, and improves things for the Internet society at large.
