Re: UC phone system for Haiti (was Katrina Response)
Hey guys, Just to add to the thread, I am helping run the LA/OC Event. We just started a google group called CRISISTELECOM right now its in alpha stage; the more expertise we have the better we can discuss how to help now and for future situations. http://groups.google.com/group/crisistelcom?hl=en http://crisiscamphaitila2.eventbrite.com/ - the LA Event We are hosting this today at UCI we hope to go 10am-10pm, and if we get enough telecom/network guys in one place, we may breakout into a separate room to discuss what we can do. -Israel Matthew Petach wrote: On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 6:53 PM, chaim.rie...@gmail.com wrote: We had a major turnout this past weekend here in southern cal.

Nanog Mentioned in TED Video: Jonathan Zittrain
Remember when youtube went down? Mr. Zittrain briefly mentions nanog during his TED talk in July 2009. http://www.ted.com/talks/jonathan_zittrain_the_web_is_a_random_act_of_kindness.html Enjoy.
Re: Nanog Webcast Equipment
Thanks to everyone for commenting on this issue. It's shed light on what it would take to put on a bitchin' live show. For now we are going to do our best with what we have, run the pilot and take it from there. If people are interested about watching the live event watch this space: http://www.uuasc.org/oc.html Thanks again! -Israel
Nanog Webcast Equipment
Hello There, I was hoping someone from the NANOG team could comment on what equipment/software they use for the live meeting broadcasts. I am looking to do the same for another professional association and could use some pointers. You can reply off-list if you wish. -Israel
Re: Database backed DNS Management Solutions
At the last place I worked at we had an installation of NicTool v1.2. We pushed out DNS updates for our hosting company over 4 servers, two local and two off-site. It was very nice to work with, but I havent used it in the 2.x iteration. http://www.nictool.com/ - Give it a look-over. Supports BIND, TinyDNS, and PowerDNS. -Israel Ross Dmochowski wrote: Dear NANOG: I hope I can solicit some feedback from this venerable group. :-) Currently, my group operates 16 BIND servers across 5 datacenters, handling internal and external namespace duties. These servers are responsible for both internal and external forward and reverse name and IP spaces. There are also a number of Windows AD servers that hold their own namespaces, that the BIND servers slave from this info from, so names resolve between these domains. Windows AD forwards queries for internal zones it does not own to the appropriate namespace holder. So Windows DNS server interoperability is a business requirement. Some of these zones are dynamic, some are static. None of the dynamic zones are populated via DHCP, but by self-registration. We have heretofore used some in-house scripts for managing this, but obviously, the thought of keeping and managing this data in something other than its current form has caught on in our minds, and so therefore we are looking at a proposal put forth, to replace all of our BIND servers with a PowerDNS infrastructure. BIND has been the backbone of the Internet, and so many of us are wary of replacing BIND, when in essence, BIND itself is not the issue, nor is it broken. Has anyone done any in house comparance of PowerDNS versus BIND-DLZ? Googling has led to some useful info but no useful side by side comparances that are not obviously partisan. I favor something like ProBIND2, that keeps the data in the DB, but does not tie the serving of the data, etc to anything other than BIND. Any success/horror stories from implementing BIND management solutions is very welcome. If anyone has any success/horror stories about PowerDNS, BIND-DLZ, or a system like ProBind2 or NetDB (from Stanford) to manage BIND and its configurations in a DB, I would be very interested in hearing them. :-) Thank you.
