tonight is laundry night. I'm hoping to get drunk enough to not care, and just blindly go through it. oh - and I think I sorted out why my vps was crappy. (1) too little free disk, and (2) some of my httpds had been hammered by bad crawlers, and were in weird states. restarted apache... life is better. IP Addresses on dedicated server are limited or we can have more on request? more on request well it costs if you go to the order screen it shows you how much also considering IPv4 address depletion, justification might be required before additional addresses are granted true i think it's normal to need justication with more than like a /29 ? i mean i think it's a requirement by ARIN as well as identifying the party in whois anyone affected by recent 503 and IPv6 PTR lookup issues when using google services specifically: http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2014-January/063510.html does google do reverse dns yet? i've found their reverse dns never works :/ oh couldn't even go to sites haven't seen that i stopped using ipv6 cos it's too buggy :/ facebook was down for ages on ipv6 ipv6 google had worse routing etc they do occasionally have rdns not along the path, but destination hosts have it occasionally they probably do reverse for the same hosts internally so as to hide interfaces, locations, router vendors etc RandalSchwartz: i wish you luck on the laundry in ipv6 land lots of hosts doesn't have reverse dnse -e and lots of routers in ipv4 it's mostly google and china
