up_the_ironsRandalSchwartz: did you just post to freebsd-questions? [17:11]
RandalSchwartzyeah [17:11]
up_the_ironsnice
I got another twitter follower out of it ;)
[17:11]
RandalSchwartzI see [17:13]
up_the_ironsJust read the thread. Looks like it would be helpful if I could ship a server out to the EU somewhere. [17:14]

[17:19]
RandalSchwartznot sure why people care where the server is
unless it's about jurisdiction for subpoenas
not like network times matter all that much any more
although I'm comparing most times to what I get on a cruise ship :)
[17:32]
***vcs has joined #arpnetworks [17:41]
up_the_ironsRandalSchwartz: EU customers may see a noticeable delay when typing in the shell over SSH
so if one does a lot of that, it gets annoying fast, and they want either an EU server or US-East-Coast server
[17:50]
RandalSchwartzsure
again even ssh at 1200 ms delay, I've learned to type carefully
[17:52]
jpalmerup_the_irons: My suggestion: find a data center in london, paris, or some place like that. Then, send me and my fiancee out to rack it and such around march. We'll mix honeymoon + business :P [17:58]
up_the_ironsjpalmer: LOL [18:01]
jpalmerhey, can't blame a guy for trying, right? [18:02]
up_the_irons:) [18:02]

RandalSchwartzlooks like someone said arp is twice the goodies for the price in that thread
nice
[18:30]
***bharatak has joined #arpnetworks [18:37]
bharatakgreetings [18:37]
up_the_ironswhoa cool [18:38]
bharatakanyone know how i can go about setting up rDNS for my ip6 network? the soa is ns1.arpnetworks.com. [18:38]
RandalSchwartzand now, they experience the next hurdle... sold out until jan 8. :) [18:39]
up_the_ironsyep [18:39]
RandalSchwartzbharatak - email to support@
but be sure you have your delegation set up right already
up_the_irons - isn't there a wiki page on that already?
[18:39]
bharatakuh cool - but how?
i know the aaaa is right
[18:39]
RandalSchwartzbharatak - ever set up named masters before?
presuming you're using bind?
[18:40]
bharatakyes, but not using bind right now [18:40]
RandalSchwartzyou'll need to be
and you'll probably want to select a secondary as well
or you can use your own DNS server software
bind is what I'm using
[18:40]
bharataki use a 3rd party for my dns, zoneedit - i already setup the in6.arpa but its not the soa [18:41]
RandalSchwartzahh - then you just need a delegation
email support@
generally fixed in 24-48 hours
[18:41]
up_the_ironsRandalSchwartz: don't think there is a wiki page for rdns delegations, just ipv6 setup w/ routing over link-local [18:41]
bharatakand tell them my ns servers? [18:41]
RandalSchwartzyeah [18:41]
bharatakcool, thanks [18:41]
RandalSchwartzthey'll set up the NS subdomain
RandalSchwartz says "they" as if up_the_irons is not in channel
[18:41]
bharatakbharatak is getting strangly into the he.net certification [18:42]
RandalSchwartzyeah - I did that and completed it [18:42]
bharatakbut - hey i'm ready for ip4 to die [18:42]
RandalSchwartzI moved my secondary to he.net to fix most of it
so now my secondary for my forward and reverse are both on he.net
[18:42]
bharataki may do that as well, but i have one host on a dynamic address
and you run the primary?
[18:43]
RandalSchwartz... http://ipv6.he.net/certification/scoresheet.php?pass_name=merlyn
yes - I run the primary locally
[18:43]
bharataki'm just running out of memory - and i'm too cheap to buy more [18:43]
RandalSchwartzI decided to stop at 1024 [18:44]
bharatakbharatak bows to the sage ;) [18:44]
RandalSchwartzto get 1500, you just have to write a script and let it run for a year
I figured that was stupid
[18:44]
bharatakbut did you get the t-shirt? [18:44]
RandalSchwartzyeah!
hell yeah
[18:44]
bharatakthats all that counts then [18:44]
RandalSchwartzindeed, what geeks will do for "free" clothing
the fun part was incoming mail on ipv6
my first v6 mail, I did a happy dance :)
[18:45]
bharataki've yet to see that [18:46]
RandalSchwartzit's one of the higher levels [18:46]
bharatakah- - i got one email from he.net [18:47]
RandalSchwartzmy first v6 mail was followed immediately by my first v6 spam [18:47]
***cubelogic has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [18:47]
RandalSchwartzspammers. pure evil.
almost as evil as svn
[18:48]
bharatakdamn, i think i have to wait for zoneedit to assign me to a ns
git it
[18:48]
RandalSchwartzI like Linus on that. "You can't say SVN is a better CVS, because CVS sucks so much it's impossible to improve" :) [18:49]
bharatakbharatak is starting to think about firing up bind [18:51]
RandalSchwartzpretty simple if you're running freebsd
echo named_enable=YES >>/etc/rc.conf
and edit /etc/namedb/named.conf to have your master file
... zone "0.8.0.3.8.f.2.f.7.0.6.2.ip6.arpa" {
... type master;
... file "master/2607:f2f8:3080";
... };
[19:04]
bharatakopenbsd here, fairly similar
though the commands do bark if you make a typo
[19:08]
RandalSchwartzyeah, not as fun though
I was on openbsd for 5 years
switched to freebsd last year
won't ever go back
[19:09]
bharatakwhy [19:09]
RandalSchwartzfreebsd = zfs + pf + huge port collection [19:09]
bharatakthe only thing i'd like is zfs [19:09]
RandalSchwartzand far easier sysadm, I think [19:09]
bharatakbut i'd miss the simplicity/purity [19:09]
RandalSchwartzmostly because of rc.d setup [19:09]
bharataki ran freebsd many moons ago [19:10]
RandalSchwartzinstead of constantly hacking rc.local [19:10]
bharatakah - just write a perl script or two ~;) [19:10]
RandalSchwartzPerl? what's that? [19:10]
bharatakthats going to change soon - rc.d is coming [19:10]
RandalSchwartzis it like ruby? [19:10]
bharatakmust be..
i'll quote you on that
[19:11]
RandalSchwartzheh
I'll deny it all.
[19:12]
bharataki'm sad about opensolaris though [19:13]
RandalSchwartzyeah
oracle - killing everything they bought in sun
simon phipps and I have had long conversations about that
he can't say much, since he's in the middle
but off the record, it's interesting
[19:15]
***vcs_ has joined #arpnetworks
vcs_ has quit IRC (Client Quit)
[19:16]
bharataki just hope the illumos guys can pull it off, but from what i can see it's near impossible [19:19]
RandalSchwartzyeah, not betting on that pony [19:19]
bharatakif they want to stay binary compatible, api compatible etc
but i have to say, zfs is damn cool
esp with zones and the virtual networking stuff
[19:19]
RandalSchwartzrunning zfs as / here, on 4 boxes [19:20]
Yamazaki-kunRandalSchwartz: Also OpenBSD 64-bit doesn't get along with ESXi at all. [19:21]
bharatakdoes freebsd have the concept of boot filesystems like opensolaris? thats a killer feature [19:24]
RandalSchwartznot sure what that means
you *can* set a setting in the stage2(?) boot to pick which zfs filesystem to boot from
[19:25]
Yamazaki-kunbootadm [19:26]
RandalSchwartzfreebsd doesn't use grub thoough
it has its own stage0, 1, 2 loader
[19:27]
bharatakthats what i mean, so when you do an update you snapshot root, do the updates, if it fails you can roll back by selecting the old snapshot [19:27]
RandalSchwartzand the stage 1 loader can have parameters overriden
yeah, you can probably boot off a snapshot
I think the zfs is flexible enough
might need to clone it though
[19:27]
bharataksure [19:28]
RandalSchwartzso it's a hard fs, not just @ [19:28]
Yamazaki-kunAlso SMF is nice -- if you've got manifests for your daemons or time to create them. [19:28]
bharataki may have to look at that for my home desktop
yes, smf is pretty cool
[19:28]
Yamazaki-kunat least the learning curve isn't up to SELinux proportions.
Got to study that for RHCE, among other things.
[19:28]
RandalSchwartzthe fixit shell on the DVD can invoke zfs commands
so you could clone after-the-fact
as long as you have a snapshot
then set the boot param, and finish booting
[19:28]
bharatakok [19:30]
RandalSchwartzmight not be completely automatic or slick
but at least doable
just editing vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot"
that's in my /boot/loader.conf
which the second-level boot reads
but you can override any of those settings
actually - that's already on my zfs root
sounds like chicken-n-egg :)
[19:33]
bharataksomeone should write a Perl script to slick-ify it [19:35]
RandalSchwartzmaybe it boots using the previous fs, then reads that and boots to whatever it calls [19:35]
bharatakopensolaris has a menu list for all your rootfs, it mouns them then boots
its apatched version of grub though
[19:38]
luckyi'm unsure you can boot off a snapshot
the fbsd bootloader + zfs is very primitive
I'm not sure doing a mountfrom="zfs:tank@before-death-and-flames" would work though.
[19:47]
jpalmerbharatak: when you submit the ticket, include your vps UUID, and your IPv6 subnet, and the NS's you want the zone delegated to. [19:49]
luckyi *could* test it, but i'm terribly lazy. [19:49]
bharatakjpalmer: thanks [19:50]
luckyyeah, FBSD ZFS boot is no snapshot, and only root filesystem in a pool. [19:51]
jpalmerbharatak: I'm active right now. if you send a delegation request now, you'd have it done in 10 mins. [19:51]
bharatakjpalmer, i have to wait for zoneedit to update their records - or maybe i did somehting wrong
too tired, i'll try tomorrow = no rush
[19:51]
jpalmerbharatak: well, one way to look at it is: right now, you have no rDNS anyway. so why wait on zoneedit to work before requesting delegation? we can get the ARP setup now, and it'll "just work" when zoneedit is setup. [19:52]
bharatakah
doh
[19:53]
***kaio has joined #arpnetworks [19:55]
bharataki just dont know which ns# they're going to put my new zone on, i have forward zones and they each have different ns#
and I may just start running bind on my vps
if i have enough memory
[19:55]
jpalmergotcha. ok. no rush. just figured I'd set you up now
btw: I have to say, I like http://dns.he.net, better than zoneedit.
[19:56]
bharataki'm thinking that also - but he.net doesnt do dydns yet, though that may be a non-issue [19:58]
jpalmerif you run bind on your vps, it can do DDNS.. and HE can slave the zone. [20:00]
bharatakthat's my thinking - but brain is failing
bharatak gotta sleep
[20:01]
jpalmerok, get some sleep! generally speaking, I'll work any DNS requests within 8-10 hours. [20:01]
luckyanyway to do reverse DNS with afraid.org dynamic dns? [20:02]
bharatakthanks [20:03]
***bharatak has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [20:05]
.... (idle for 15mn)
RandalSchwartzafraid.org can do reverse
but they are not yet v6 compat
better to go with he.net
which has secondaries on 5 continents
[20:20]
...... (idle for 25mn)
jpalmeryea, another big plus IMO. [20:45]
jdoeafraid.org also lets other people create records in your zones unless you're paying them.
... so if you were looking at them, I'd pick zoneedit instead.
free for the first 5 zones, and they'll happily slave from a master you run if you prefer.
[20:48]
jpalmerhe.net will do the same, but free for 50 zones [20:51]
luckyah, i'm not terribly familiar with all this, i just get my dyndns from them. [20:56]
