mercutio: not i
run your own dns
i dunno why dns is something people like to push off to others
gizmoguy: oh yeah I mostly host my own DNS
just one of my clients uses zerigo for all his stuff
all down
their "6" nameservers have been DDoSed off the internet the past 48 hours
mercutio: wow
my personal domain has 5 name servers
but generally speaking 3 is plenty for most people
and it's just cos it was esay to do for me :)
did you read about linkedin's dns being hacked somehow
and a few other sites
it's hard to tell how
gizmoguy: hah yeah
I heard in linkedin's case it was their DNS hoster who injected an incorrect nameserver or something stupid
personal websites = dns.he.net
work stuff = 2 physical servers with a 3rd remote VPS
mercutio: ahh i never saw anything conclusive
i was half following on nanog
linkedin worked normally quicklpy though
craigslist didn't
but i'm not in US
hazardous: <mercutio> and a few other sites
have you seen the absurdly long thread
http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2013-June/thread.html, ctrl+f coordinated
mercutio: yeah
i'm subscribed
i only briefly looked as i said
hazardous: i tried to only briefly look, but was getting a popup every few minutes about new mail like yesterday
so i decided to just read it
mercutio: heh
i don't get popups
i'm not really following the /25 thing either
hah
someone said about padding acks to 1500 bytes
hazardous: wat
just, "wat"
mercutio: i suppose it's one way to keep ratios up
although you need the other end to send big ack
on net neutrility
cogent always has peering disagreements or issues
hazardous: they're usually the source of the issues so presumably they would have a lot
mercutio: i thoguht isp's were the source of the sisues
verizon, comcast etc
m0unds: gizmoguy: zerigo sucks
gizmoguy: i used them for a year; when they got bought out by 8x8, their services all started to suck
no support, no product improvements, they got ddos'd off the internet last year and pledged to improve stuff..sounds like they haven't
hazardous: for me, personal stuff is on he.net unless they need wildcards, important stuff is on dnsmadeeasy or whateverelse
m0unds: and that coordinated hacking thread was silly
hazardous: trying out rage4 atm
m0unds: i'm on route53 for dns
i have a few consulting clients who use easydns as a registrar and dns host and like them a lot

sorressean: Do you guys prefer a specific MTA over another for bsd? I currently use postfix on *nix, I'm open to looking at anything else though. I just don't want to touch exim, assuming it's even in the ports to begin with.
phlux: postfix fan here
sorressean: haha I figured. postfix works good, just wasn't sure if there was another favorite for BSD
I might just be configuring it to relay to the linux box anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter to much.
brycec: sorressean: there's a lot of excitement behind OpenSMTPD in the BSD project, but I've no personal experience with it.
sorressean: brycec: yeah, I seen that. Looks like it's just barely ready to get into the wild though, not sure how well that'd do for me.
brycec: (If I recall correctly, I think opensmtpd became the default MTA in 5.3, or maybe it's just slated to be default)
sorressean: It's getting a good workout, even while being pretty young. I know it's used at Microsoft to handle some part of their bulk mailing stuff.
staticsafe: OpenSMTPD is getting rapid dev atm
sorressean: haha that's kind of cool.
staticsafe: #opensmtpd btw :)
sorressean: exchange is clearly the beast for the job.
m0unds: MS uses postfix in their FOPE spam handling platform
is the opensmtpd implementation being used for transaction email or something?
brycec: m0unds: I couldn't say, I'm not involved and it's not something easily searched in my irc logs
m0unds: ah, gotcha

hazardous: m0unds i dont run my own mail at all because effort and deliverability
i use sailthru, ses and sendgrid for outbound
inbound is gandi or gapps or w/e depending on what it's for
m0unds: hazardous: i just figure other people have the good hardware and redundant systems to handle it. gandi is awesome though, in general
-: staticsafe hosts his own mail for certain stuff and has it hosted for certain other stuff
phlux: I'm actually finally moving my stuff back to my own server this weekend
Thanks for reminding me
m0unds: i've got an MTA for outbound-only, but that's it
hazardous: m0unds for inbound mail at least
the one thing i do not want to deal with
is multiple redundant backups to not lose mail, and spam filters
i'd much rather have someone else just sort that out for me
m0unds: yeah
i've had an acct w/spamexperts for a couple years as a filtering/continuity sort of hting
thing*
hazardous: if i have important mail that needs to remain private, well, that's what client-side pgp is for

brycec: phlux: ncdu - ncurses du, browses the tree, sorts by space used, name, etc
oh and lets you delete from inside the app even (recursively)
gizmoguy: m0unds: yeah.. that was my impression of zerigo
I'm moving him to route53 at the moment
m0unds: gizmoguy: it's a bummer, because their services before acquisition were pretty alright
gizmoguy: I assume on route53 they can zone transfer from a primary DNS server I host?
staticsafe: gizmoguy: I use DNSMadeEasy for shit I need up, tis awesome
brycec: I never liked that route53 (and some others) charge by the query :/
gizmoguy: "It supports slaving from a DNS master using IXFR (zone transfer) requests"
answered my own question
brycec: Does that mean it can be converted to a master, gizmoguy ?
Or is it permanently slaved?
gizmoguy: brycec: I want to run route53 as a permanent slave
m0unds: eh, as long as the "per query" pricing is set at a reasonable threshold, it doesn't bother me in the slightest
brycec: oh misunderstood
m0unds: not like stupid dyn and their 600k query base limit
gizmoguy: m0unds: seems to be like a cent per million queries or something
m0unds: $.50 per million
i think
staticsafe: does Route53 have v6 on any of their NSes?
brycec: I wish I had a way to get an idea what my usage would be without moving to self-hosted or route53
m0unds: brycec: for my personal svcs w/email and stuff i average less than 100k/mo
gizmoguy: "Amazon Route 53 supports both forward (AAAA) and reverse (PTR) IPv6 records. However, the Route 53 service itself is not available over IPv6 at this time."
:(
brycec: Thanks that gives me some idea
staticsafe: ~200,000+ queries on one of my domains
gizmoguy: meh lame
m0unds: since most of my svcs are accessed by eyeball networks, i don't really care about ipv6 right now
staticsafe: lulz
gizmoguy: No m0unds, everyone on the edge of the internet has ipv6 enabled
m0unds: WE DO?
-: m0unds checks
m0unds: nope.
gizmoguy: every single person
m0unds: hahaha
i had to ask comcast for ipv6 at home on my business acct
it's going to take them 3 weeks to alloc
gizmoguy: ipv6 was deployed perfectly 5 years ago in my happy place in my head
staticsafe: heh gizmoguy
-: brycec is 100% IPv6 compat/capable
gizmoguy whoises everyone in the chan to see who is cool enough to have IRCv6
brycec: In fact, my ipv4 connection died one day and I didn't notice it. That was fun.
-: m0unds puts on his best whois-pants
gizmoguy: oh what's with stupid freenode hiding everyone's IPs
brycec: I assure you gizmoguy I'm connected to Freenode over ipv6

I am too :)

phlux: What are the recommended administrative e-mail addresses? I know there's abuse@ and postmaster@, but are there any others?
staticsafe: dns@ and webmaster@
m0unds: um, those are the two big ones - you could always add hostmaster if you manage your dns
webmaster is a great spam target
staticsafe: ^
m0unds: for whatever reason, 80% of my admin address spam across all domains i run hits webmaster
phlux: aren't there some that are required?
like, if the e-mail bounces, you could be written off as spam by the provider?
staticsafe: eh, not really
i recommend keeping abuse@ and postmaster@
m0unds: with some of the sillier RBLs, they'll cry about abuse@

m0unds: yeah, ancient
haha

how old are you?

my dad's company sent it to our house for him to generate quotes on
hazardous: um
a teenager
;s

oh man
m0unds: my dad also ended up with an NEC laptop that booted from 3.5" floppy and had an external 4800baud modem

I'll never forget playing with ppp for the first time
I almost gave up on Linux
this was back when Corel offered a Linux suite

m0unds: heh
hazardous: terms i don't know: baud
m0unds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baud
phlux: terms you should google: baud
m0unds: 4800 baud = 4800 bits per second
orrrrr 4.8kbit/sec
hazardous: isn't ~5kb/s basically 56k
m0unds: slightly less than .6KB/sec
hazardous: wat
m0unds: 4.8kbit/sec = .6KB/sec
you'd be hard pressed to get much more than 5KB/sec over 56k
my first linux use was redhat 4
my friend's brother was an intern at intel, and they had him learning how to use it. i borrowed the discs and installed it on my old 486
