a massive pain in the balls.
that's about it.
but if you're going to use it, you want zkt
er... http://www.hznet.de/dns/zkt/
that
jdoe: Thanks. In my notes.
up_the_irons: Chosen new hardware yet?
DDevine: chosen?  it'll be the same stuff that i always get :)
Ah ok. Thought maybe you would get something shiny and newfangled.
I'm open to suggestions for a beefy box with maximum budget of $5K
DDevine: I kinda agree w/ jdoe, DNSSEC seems to be a waste of time atm
DDevine: I'm yet to be convinced to say the least
up_the_irons: I suggest whatever SuperMicro stuff fits in $5k. If you use 3.5" HDDs I suggest Samsung drives. Wow I'm no help.
DDevine: that's what i already use ;)  except I go with Hitachi
hmmm those Workstations look nice
up_the_irons: taking a stab in the dark that you are using the Nehalem's in them?
G: nope, too expensive
G: 2.66 GHz Intel Xeon's Quad Core (E5430)
2x per box
so 8 cores
Nehalem's require DDR3 memory which would seriously put a dent in the budget
up_the_irons: ahhh okay, can't remember what the ones before Nehalem's are called but yeah
up_the_irons: good point
:)
up_the_irons: when I was at Red Hat I got to use a few Nehalem systems, really sweet for KVM et al.
but yeah, totally agree, expensive :)
yep
as far as DDR3 memory goes, in NZ at least it seems to be priced around the same as what DDR2 memory was priced about 3 years ago
ah
thats just my personal observation of course
up_the_irons: what OS are you running KVM  under btw? (curious)
ubuntu jaunty
up_the_irons: yo, I'll bug you about mounting that ISO later...by the time you get some more hardware 8.2-RELEASE may hit :)
sup sup
DDevine: ping
I'm liking dns.he.net so far.
It seems to be pretty responsive.
awyeah: Well that sort of depends on where you are located relative to the server.
Not that geographical location is a huge issue these days.
I am unsure which reverse method I should use RFC4183 or RFC2317...
Ah cool found their documentation http://www.he.net/adm/reverse.dns.html
yeah they're great about documentation.
and their NOC team are pretty good
Now SSH responds in just under 2 seconds.
woo
Much nicer
Oh because reverse is working?
DDevine: RFC2317
jpalmer: Thats what I ended up going with
I figured.  as soon as I said that,  I did a dig on your IP space,  and saw you had the PTR's setup.
I couldn't really see much of a difference between the two methods from HEs documentation.
