If the reverse mapping points to some valid A record, why do you need to change it? There aren't many applications that really depend on the reverse name - for most of the things it's enough that the reverse name is a valid one. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Per Jessen <per.jessen(a)enidan.ch> > To: swinog(a)lists.swinog.ch > Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 11:29:04 AM > Subject: Re: [swinog] Anyone from Green here? > > Marc SCHAEFER wrote: > > > On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 10:37:35AM +0200, Per Jessen wrote: > >> One of my customers has just been told he needs to pay to get a DNS > >> reverse map entry for thei Green ADSL line with fixed IP. > >> Is that really true?? > > > > I had a similar query lately, and administration(a)green.ch replied that > > with MPS1 (1 IP address) they won't do it, they will do it only for > > MPS8 and with a delegation. > > That's the answer my customer got too. > > > > > That's a pity, but it's how marketing works. > > It's not only very poor marketing, it's incredibly arrogant.

primary / backup BGP multi homed issue
by Marco Fretz 04 Sep '08

04 Sep '08

Hi SwiNOGers, We've the problem that sunrise is advertising our prefixes from our backup provider instead of the ones from our primary. This is most likely because our backup provider is a downstream customer from sunrise. Our prefixes then get advertised to level3 (and other sunrise upstream peers). Sunrise seems to be level3 downstream customer and prefer our prefixes from sunrise instead of our primary provider, too. The consequence is that most other ISPs are seeing only our prefixes over sunrise and our backup provider. Sunrise changed their as-communities recently so that's no longer possible for our backup provider to influence their local-pref. I think this might be a common problem in primary / backup BGP scenarios. Any ideas how to solve it? Maybe someone from sunrise can contact me off-list? Thanks and best regards Marco

It's how it works everywhere: if you need some special tweaking, you need to request it from your provider, and not from the public list.

----- Original Message ---- > From: Claudio Jeker <jeker(a)networx.ch> > Prepend your own AS a few times. this will not help, as L3 sets higher local preference for the prefixes from its customers. The guys at Sunrise are already working on this, don't worry :)

Re: [swinog] Content delivery system like Akamai?

There're a lot of players in that space. I used to work for a company called Digital Island that bought Sandpiper to get their Footprint CDN. This was then sold to C&W who then sold it to blah, blah and it finally ended up at Savvis. There were several lawsuits with Akamai (a Hawaiian word for smart, clever or intelligent BTW) in the US about who invented what first. Akamai came out on top from what I heard after leaving the company. http://www.savvis.net/corp/Products+Services/Content+Delivery+Network/defau… You should be sure to do the market research before doing anything more than a fun and interesting project. scott --- mailinglist(a)blah.li wrote: From: Marco Fretz <mailinglist(a)blah.li> To: swinog(a)swinog.ch Subject: [swinog] Content delivery system like Akamai?

Guys, are you intending to build a service, or just want to play around? A service would involve hardware investment, SLA, on-call support staff, sales personnel, and tons of other investment - are you willing to start that today? ----- Original Message ---- > From: Marcel Prisi <marcel(a)virtua.ch> > To: swinog(a)swinog.ch > Sent: Tuesday, September 2, 2008 11:23:31 AM > Subject: Re: [swinog] Content delivery system like Akamai? > > Hi, > > There is already some software there : > > http://www.globule.org/ > > Looks quite dead, but seemed to work quite well ...

FTP block somewhere between AS6775 and AS16215 (Global Networks -> Genotec)
by Anthony Uk / dataway GmbH 02 Sep '08

Here is an unusual situation seen from our network (AS 8237). Our direct SwissIX peering with Genotec has been down for a few weeks now (can someone from Genotec contact me about this). Since then we have noticed the following effect: If our traffic to Genotec is routed via AS 6775, then we are unable to establish an FTP connection to Genotec, although WWW works as usual. # traceroute to gic-web-bsd-016.genotec.ch (82.195.224.116): 1-30 hops, 38 byte packets 1 ZHS08 (195.216.80.8) 0.268 ms 0.146 ms 0.115 ms 2 as6775.swissix.ch (194.242.34.40) 2.41 ms 1.57 ms 2.62 ms 3 ge0.2.border-01.iwb.ipv4.as16215.net (194.242.34.16) 2.95 ms (ttl=252!) 3.17 ms (ttl=252!) 2.48 ms (ttl=252!) 4 * * * 5 * * * 6 (interrupt) # telnet 82.195.224.116 21 Trying 82.195.224.116...
