[00:27] *** EhtyarWRK has quit IRC (Quit: There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.) [00:48] *** mercutio has joined #arpnetworks [01:05] *** LT has joined #arpnetworks [02:15] *** wtapped has joined #arpnetworks [02:18] anyone else had the issue that the in-addr.arpa delegation for the IP address range assigned by arpnetworks doesn't seem to actually point to arpnetworks (points to some other customer) [02:18] ? [02:19] and by 'other customer' I mean - someone other than arpnetworks, not using their network [02:26] eg: 91.79.208.in-addr.arpa [02:27] everybody asleep in the USA? [02:33] wtapped: let me look into that [02:38] weird, ARIN seems to have not updated that... [02:39] I was thinking the same earlier when I checked back up to ARIN level to see where it was pointed [02:39] no great hurry [02:39] also, in the portal, I note that I can't stick a - char into the reverse DNS entry [02:40] our convention is normally to have skins-ns04.skins.net [02:40] as we're a single IP setup, can I just request that manually on a ticket? [02:46] wtapped: no dash huh? that's a bug, I'll fix now [02:46] (just for reference, we've picked you guys for this small dns server role precisely because you've got great routes and great latency into australia and china) [02:46] nice! [02:46] :) [02:46] re the dash - the portal says that it'll only accept alphabet, numbers and dots [02:46] and it errors when you stick a dash in there with a hostname like the one I mentioned [02:48] yep [02:48] validates_format_of :content, [02:48] :with => /^[0-9a-zA-Z\.\-]*$/, [02:48] :message => 'can only contain numbers, letters, dashes and \'.\'', :if => Proc.new { |dns_record| [02:48] if dns_record.type =~ /(PTR|NS|CNAME)/ [02:48] true [02:48] end [02:48] } [02:48] I just added the '\-' to the regex ;) [02:48] thanks [02:48] I'll change it, then... [02:48] - :with => /^[0-9a-zA-Z\.]*$/, [02:48] - :message => 'can only contain numbers, letters, and \'.\'', [02:48] + :with => /^[0-9a-zA-Z\.\-]*$/, [02:48] + :message => 'can only contain numbers, letters, dashes and \'.\'', [02:48] should work now [02:48] I was thinking it was a bit narrow given the normal tendency to use dashes occasionally [02:48] thanks [02:48] np [02:49] i wonder what i was thinking not allowing dashes... ;) [02:49] bam, done [02:49] nice [02:51] ARIN says my network mod template is approved (containing NS changes), that may take some time to propagate though [02:51] k [03:06] example good route into the heart of communist china: 182.18.68.10 (traceroute it) [03:06] 200ms into china is basically unheard of anywhere I've seen [03:07] * up_the_irons checks it out [03:07] the lowest I've otherwise seen is sub 100 from rackspace in hong kong for us [03:08] it's going via any2 in LA [03:08] the rackspace one? [03:09] nah from your network [03:09] so i learn of 182.18.68.10 through Trit Networks, which is had from Xeex, then from "CNCGROUP China169 Backbone" [03:09] heh [03:09] straight into the belly of the beast [03:10] LOL [03:12] anyway, I'm sure you've got better things to be doing than traceroutes with a $20 customer at 3am in the morning... [03:12] thanks for your help [03:14] just as a final thing, check this [03:14] from europe to that same IP address [03:14] 30 61.49.43.146 (61.49.43.146) 578.620 ms 586.409 ms 605.029 ms [03:14] via sprintlink into china [03:14] awesome [03:15] this is the money shot [03:15] 21 sl-gw29-ana-0-0-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.0.37) 162.078 ms 162.046 ms 162.030 ms [03:15] 22 sl-china6-4-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.54.74) 567.514 ms 568.442 ms [03:16] 400ms in a single hop is like going back in time in network terms [03:16] *** wtapped has quit IRC (Quit: thanks for your help) [03:25] *** Devine has joined #arpnetworks [04:29] ouch, 1/2 second into China, I wouldn't like that latency [04:53] Its 1/2 second to Australia - I don't mind that much though. [04:54] I've got my stuff fairly well tuned so the actual processing time for a page doesn't noticibly add onto that time. [04:54] I'm probably going to redo my website once I finish the webapp I am working on just now though. [04:54] Time to get rid of most of the PHP stuff. [04:57] From various places in the UK, that Chinese IP seems to be about 300-350ms away, and that includes 150ms to get to west coast USA [04:57] *** ivan-kanis has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [05:03] *** ivan-kanis has joined #arpnetworks [06:54] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [06:55] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [06:55] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [07:27] up_the_irons: is now my sole hosting provider [07:49] *** hien has joined #arpnetworks [08:33] *** Devine has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [08:55] *** hien has left [09:18] *** LT has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [09:51] *** HighJinx has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [10:23] *** ivan-kanis has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [10:41] *** HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks [10:41] *** NeoGeo has joined #arpnetworks [11:02] *** NeoGeo has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [11:11] *** ivan-kanis has joined #arpnetworks [11:52] *** amdprophet has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [13:09] *** ivan-kanis has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [14:47] *** d-fens has joined #arpnetworks [14:50] up_the_irons: I'm spreading the word here for you at the office =) [15:01] arp would be my client's solo provider, if only he had some equipment that wasn't in LA. :) [15:02] I'm building up some BCP in texas with elastichosts. the *second* best provider of full-access VPS boxes. :) [15:13] :) [15:59] root [15:59] oops. wrong window [16:02] ohh yea, you're a bad girl aren't you!?!
