wtapped has joined #arpnetworks wtapped: 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)
?
and by 'other customer' I mean - someone other than arpnetworks, not using their network
eg: 91.79.208.in-addr.arpa
everybody asleep in the USA? up_the_irons: wtapped: let me look into that
weird, ARIN seems to have not updated that... wtapped: I was thinking the same earlier when I checked back up to ARIN level to see where it was pointed
no great hurry
also, in the portal, I note that I can't stick a - char into the reverse DNS entry
our convention is normally to have skins-ns04.skins.net
as we're a single IP setup, can I just request that manually on a ticket? up_the_irons: wtapped: no dash huh? that's a bug, I'll fix now wtapped: (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) up_the_irons: nice!
:) wtapped: re the dash - the portal says that it'll only accept alphabet, numbers and dots
and it errors when you stick a dash in there with a hostname like the one I mentioned up_the_irons: yep
validates_format_of :content,
:with => /^[0-9a-zA-Z.-]*$/,
:message => 'can only contain numbers, letters, dashes and '.'', :if => Proc.new { |dns_record|
if dns_record.type =~ /(PTR|NS|CNAME)/
true
end
}
I just added the '-' to the regex ;) wtapped: thanks
I'll change it, then... up_the_irons: - :with => /^[0-9a-zA-Z.]*$/,
- :message => 'can only contain numbers, letters, and '.'',
+ :with => /^[0-9a-zA-Z.-]*$/,
+ :message => 'can only contain numbers, letters, dashes and '.'',
should work now wtapped: I was thinking it was a bit narrow given the normal tendency to use dashes occasionally
thanks up_the_irons: np
i wonder what i was thinking not allowing dashes... ;) wtapped: bam, done up_the_irons: nice
ARIN says my network mod template is approved (containing NS changes), that may take some time to propagate though wtapped: k
example good route into the heart of communist china: 182.18.68.10 (traceroute it)
200ms into china is basically unheard of anywhere I've seen -: up_the_irons checks it out wtapped: the lowest I've otherwise seen is sub 100 from rackspace in hong kong for us
it's going via any2 in LA up_the_irons: the rackspace one? wtapped: nah from your network up_the_irons: so i learn of 182.18.68.10 through Trit Networks, which is had from Xeex, then from "CNCGROUP China169 Backbone"
heh wtapped: straight into the belly of the beast up_the_irons: LOL wtapped: anyway, I'm sure you've got better things to be doing than traceroutes with a $20 customer at 3am in the morning...
thanks for your help
just as a final thing, check this
from europe to that same IP address
30 61.49.43.146 (61.49.43.146) 578.620 ms 586.409 ms 605.029 ms
via sprintlink into china
awesome
this is the money shot
21 sl-gw29-ana-0-0-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.0.37) 162.078 ms 162.046 ms 162.030 ms
22 sl-china6-4-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.54.74) 567.514 ms 568.442 ms
400ms in a single hop is like going back in time in network terms ***: wtapped has quit IRC (Quit: thanks for your help)
Devine has joined #arpnetworks G: ouch, 1/2 second into China, I wouldn't like that latency Devine: Its 1/2 second to Australia - I don't mind that much though.
I've got my stuff fairly well tuned so the actual processing time for a page doesn't noticibly add onto that time.
I'm probably going to redo my website once I finish the webapp I am working on just now though.
Time to get rid of most of the PHP stuff. plett: 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 ***: ivan-kanis has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)

wow. the mfsinstall makes a root-on-zfs much easier
except you are then running a non-standard kernel
I guess I could compile a generic one
it built a system in about 5 minutes though, isnteasd of the 20 I take by hand
... http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ DaCa: RandalSchwartz: yeah, zfsinstall is great, I use it too
I'd use anything that avoids sysinstall :) ***: EhtyarWRK has joined #arpnetworks
