so apparently you don't manage reverse DNS with ARIN's templates anymore (even though they are still in the template :(
you do so in their new web-based interface
well, at least it's easy now ;)
Hey guys... anyone had any issues setting up reverse DNS? I've tried both setting a PTR record directly through the customer portal as well as setting NS records to different DNS servers. ...on the server itself I can reverse the IP just fine but on almost every other machine I've tried it alawys gives me a FORMERR or SERVFAIL reply
skate111: you just missed:

skate111: there is one /23 of mine that has a wrong delegation :(
skate111: so it doesn't point to my servers, but servers of an old customer.  I was just able to update that today (I tried last week with ARIN's templates, only to find out you don't do it that way anymore)
skate111: so i think in 24 hours, everything should have fully propagated
ahh okay :) I was starting to think I was crazy... now it makes sense :)
thanks garry
np, sorry for the needless hassle
I thought it was something I was doing wrong... kept searching all over the 'net and nothing seemed to directly pertain so I figured I'd run it by you/other customers here :)
Now I know not to sit there racking my brain and just give it another day or two to propagate
yep, nah, i'm sure you were doing it right
up_the_irons - can you increase the virtual disk size without copying the data, or do you need to copy the data?
I'm just wondering if I can do the same thign here that I did in my vmware test
RandalSchwartz: we don't do any copying, just expand the lvm volume; the rest is up to the customer
cool
neil's 20GB machine overflowed again this morning. :(
ouchie
yeah, especially when I start getting Nagios SMS while travelling internationally. :)
as in, the SMS are flowing, but I can't even log in to fix it, since I don't have any wifi nearby
oh man!
oh wait... it was the 30G machine, but still
yeah
i remember running early exchange servers if you filled them up the box was prety much dead
I think he wants to just add another 20G to each machine, but I'll verify that with him and put in a request.
those were the days.. not
c=
sigh, that's getting painfully frequent, I should really do something about my fingers.
getting some really bad packet loss atm
Oh, oh.  Packloss
anyone lese?
Yep. ;-)
else*
its always funny to see how many people are connecting through their arp vpa
vps*
Good thing I'm not.  Though I finally switched over to a US server.
I think I was connected through Lithuania for some reason.
I suppose there are network issues going on?
it appears so
My DNS failover system switched over to backup in no time.
Since I can't ssh, and my IRC connections to various networks are pinging out on other networks
My ssh is still up.
Let's see if I can ping.
Very sluggish.
It will half-way connect to ssh.  Showing "Using username 'galador'", and the "Authenticating with key ____"
And then dies
Now it died.
Hmm.  I think I'd better set my system to stay failed and manually switch back.
Enough packets get through to cause to flip-flop.
bGeorge: why is that funny?
hum, someone know, it's normal the last ping time out I got from my vps?
It seems to be ok now.
part
oops
Yep it's ok, but trying to figure why, This week I get some packet lost from my vps, trying to figure what's up, generally it's stable.
Aside from just now, now problems that I can see on mine.
I have a service that pings about once a minute.
I'm back!
I think
Welcome back.
dos attack earlier.  offending vps shutdown and canceled.  sorry for the collateral damage.
funny, i looked through all the bandwidt graphs, and i could tell who had failover systems (their traffic went to zero and never came back)
(so it switched to some other provider)
The problem I had was it switched back when a ping manged to get through.
yeah
i think i saw those too ;)
I need to work on that.
BTW, up_the_irons: Have you checkout out Tata Communications (AS6453)?
I think they have service in the Wilshire Annex.
they do
they have a big suite too
they tried to sell me bandwidth as well
but i already buy too much
Heh.
up_the_irons: eh, risk of a vps, it happens.
They might be a better match than Level3 if you decide to dump gtt.
I did some traceroutes from their looking glass and was impressed.
o'rly?
may check 'em out then
Nodes everywhere too.  Just saw they now have one in Russia.
cool
