bharatakipv6 - so i configured my firewall to let inet6 in, i can see the system listening on tcp6, i verified from another host that ipv6 works, did i miss anything?
I need to add AAAA records and watch the logs
[11:37]
jpalmerwell, we can't really answer that until you let us know what you expected to happen, and what actually happened?
depending on the context, you may need to configure applications or services to USE that IPv6.
[11:38]
bharatakha - i'll just give it a go, basically web/email
i can see the ports listening.. i'll just go for it
[11:39]
jdoejpalmer: (delayed response) fair enough, I'm assuming that if you control the primary you control the secondary as well, and wouldn't do something as silly as to have them running different software.
otherwise it's your own fault, you know? ;)
(re: backup mxes)
[11:41]
jpalmerjdoe: poor assumption ;) years ago it was common practice to contract with another entity. many places essentially traded bacup MX services. [11:42]
jdoethen they get everything that's coming to them.
I guess what I'm saying is it's as easy or as troublesome as you make it :P
[11:43]
jpalmerin this day and age, there are very few *good* reasons to run a secondary MX [11:43]
jdoeand yet they're exactly the same as they ever were...
load balancing, redundancy/availabiilty, ...
[11:45]
jpalmeryep all things I've heard before, and believed for a long time. [11:46]
bharatakah - my dns provider is having troubles - no creating AAAA record for me :( [11:47]
jpalmerbelieve me, I spent a long time defending the "backup MX" theory. arguing exactly the same things you are now. it took a while before I realized that those reasons are bogus, and not "good" [11:47]
bharataki've noticed that while my primary mx is up i just get spam from the backup [11:48]
jpalmerin the days of multi-homed connections, BGP announcements, hardware load balancing, and proper mail clusters.. the above ideas are simply.. excuses.
bharatak: which dns provider?
[11:49]
bharatakzoneedit [11:50]
jpalmerbharatak: ahh, I used them a while back, they are decent enough. [11:50]
bharatakmulti-homed connections, bgp are great- but overkill for my small needs (5 mailboxes) [11:51]
jpalmerI currently use he.net's free dns service.. but zoneedit wasn't too bad. never saw an issue where I couldn't update records. might be a fluke. [11:51]
bharatakwell - i guess a vps at arpnetworks is also overkill - but hell it's fun
they are migrating their front end - seems others are also having trouble logging in. new web-app
[11:51]
jdoejpalmer: lol. explain to me how a mail cluster is significantly different from multiple mx records... [11:52]
jpalmerbharatak: sure. but with 5 users, a backup MX is also probably overkill. RFC compliant mailservers will retry if your MX is down temporarily. so you don't lose anything [11:52]
jdoejpalmer: bonus points if you can explain how it cuts down on maintenance in any way ;)
jpalmer: no, but your primary may remain down for some time.
[11:52]
bharataki should check out he.net, I'm thinking of getting a ipv6 tunnel for my cable modem anyway [11:52]
jdoejpalmer: suppose I was on that arp box that was getting ddosed
jpalmer: or if hardware failed
who knows how long I might be down?
[11:52]
jpalmerjdoe: I think you started this conversation (again) after I explained how it can potentially reduce maintenance. I'm not much interested in circular discussions [11:53]
jdoeif you did I wasn't part of the conversation, I joined because I saw "backup mx = bad" [11:53]
jpalmeryou even commented on the backup MX having the same software. so, I know you saw it. [11:53]
jdoeer, I said there was no significant problem with maintaining a backup mx.
... because the software is (assuming you're not a glutton for punishment) the same.
[11:54]
jpalmerand I maintain that such an assumption cannot be made globally.
here is the bottom line. if you want a backup MX, use it. it makes no difference to me. I maintain that there are very few practical and real-world reasons to actually do so. So, *I* will not run a backup MX.
[11:55]
jdoeyeah but you're saying "don't use a backup mx, use this alternative method which is functionally equivalent"
and that makes no sense.
you don't get to say "YOU MIGHT NOT BE RUNNING THE SAME MTA ON THE BACKUP" if your proposed solution involves setting up a cluster running whatever you want.
[11:56]
jpalmerwhat alternative did I say to use instead? please, feel free to put words in my mouth. [11:57]
jdoeyou're the one suggesting a cluster, bgp etc.
sorry, this is getting antagonistic. Ignore me.
[11:57]
jpalmer"in the days of" is by no means my telling you to use those technologies. I feel that you might be trying to skew a conversation to "win" when no such claim was made. [11:58]
jdoeI feel you might be doing the same when there's a clear implication by "in the days of" that you are suggesting they make an alternative (whether you personally use them or not) [11:59]
jpalmerwe'll have to agree to disagree. use them if you want. I won't. I see almost no point in them. [12:01]
jdoesounds good. [12:02]

whitefangLS [16:52]
anyone else having network issues with their VPS? [17:03]
jpalmerwhitefang: not I [17:03]
whitefangI'm getting a good 60+ms higher latency to it than I normally do. [17:04]
jpalmermaybe your host is experiencing high traffic flow for some reason? [17:04]
whitefanglatency to everywhere else from where I am is normal [17:04]
vcsnope
all normal here
odd, what VPS are you on
[17:07]
***vcs has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
vcs has joined #arpnetworks
[17:10]
vcsthink there was just a route hiccup
not sure
[17:12]
***DDevine has joined #arpnetworks [17:13]
whitefangkvm14 [17:15]
vcsim on 13
didn't notice anything till that routing hiccup
[17:20]
jpalmerI'm on 13 as well.
I didn't have a routing hiccup
[17:20]
vcshmmm
maybe i have my config messed up somewhere
vcs needs to dig
lol
[17:20]
jpalmerI'd say, if it only happened once, I wouldn't worry about it too much [17:21]
vcswell, it looked like em0 threw an error
maybe virtual hardware issue specific to OpenBSD
i just upgraded to 4.8
might have something to do with it
[17:21]
whitefangI think my ISP may be taking a bit of a dump. [17:26]
vcssame here actually [17:27]
whitefangalthough it looks like it might just be the route from here to my VPS.
I think its PCCW Global that's taking the dumb
dump
[17:27]
vcslol [17:31]
whitefangping -t ge2-5.br01.sea01.pccwbtn.net
dropping packets like crazy
[17:32]
jpalmerwell, to be fair. many routers put icmp in a lowwer priority queue, and will drop them when the traffic load gets high. it's not *necesarily* indicitive of a problem. (though, it's certainly suspect) [17:33]
vcsping -t ge2-5.br01.sea01.pccwbtn.net
errr
[17:33]
whitefangerrr [17:33]
vcsi cant even resolve that host
lol
[17:33]
whitefang63.216.14.157
is the IP
[17:33]
vcsif that means anything [17:33]
whitefangbut that's the host between me and my VPS that's adding like 70ms latency more than usual; [17:34]
vcsim getting between 80-300MS [17:34]
whitefangnormally I'm like 40ms away from my VPS
now I'm like 120ms with 600ms spikes
[17:34]
vcsyeah
im seeing that pinging you from my home connection
and arp networks
so i dont think its a problem with arp
[17:34]
whitefangwell 63.216.14.157 is the router that's adding the delay
Ping statistics for 63.216.14.157:
Packets: Sent = 259, Received = 241, Lost = 18 (6% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 85ms, Maximum = 372ms, Average = 94ms
that address is usually like 10ms from me at most
and packet loss even prioritizing ICMP lower is no excuse for 6% loss
