First, I would recommend being the VoIP provider yourself and dumping
Vonage. Short of that, I would recommend that you use something like
VoIP-Jet or Broadvoice, where you can BYOD, and get rid of the sipura
devices that are hardwired to Vonage.

Okay, It prolly isn't so much a factor of how many hops, as it is the
co-mingling of traffic going out through the bottleneck point.

I recommend that your client place all SIP, IAX2, and related traffic at
the top of the firewall ruleset - If you don't, then anytime someone
(especially if it is upstream at the bottleneck) visits something like
youtube, your clients going to begin having problems.

You might also be NAT'ing NAT'd traffic - bad w/SIP.

You may be required to have the NAT'd traffic heading to/from the sipura
or other IP/VoIP device NAT'd from a public IP and then not NAT'd again,
because there are issues with SIP behind firewalls when you're not doing
1:1 NAT (A way around this is to put a bridge on the forward facing
firewall exposed to the public IP network - like the FreeSwitch contrib
for pfSense, arguably the best firewall out there, and free).

Contact me offlist for additional particulars.

Hope that helps :)

Kindest regards,

Wow it's getting really tough then. Alan also said he wasn't multi-homed
(don't let that get out).

Perhaps one of the best things he can do is pick up a separate provider
and aquire adequate IP space from them, slowly migrating everything over.

But from his email, I really couldn't tell if he was bringing pubic IPs
all the way to the CPEs or not.

Makes me wanna vom. And the worst part is, most of these biggies were
handed out to megacorps before they knew what the Internet was, or even

I'm not quite understanding.

That's not the most efficient - you could have a lot of noise on your
backbone, but if that's not a major concern yet, you can actually do
this simply by going w/network 10 and masking it 255.0.0.0

You'll prolly never run out of space that way either, although there's
only so many nanoseconds in a second and so much collision detection and
retransmitting an ethernet bus can handle.

> Obviously we are wanting to change this for many reasons. Subnetting

That's what I'm not getting. What does 'out' mean? Does this mean it's
out of the question? Does it mean it is out, as in, having already been
deployed? Or does it mean it won't be a problem for you to deploy it?


 but the public side is.

I really don't understand this.

how many public IPs do you need? are you intending on doing 1:1 NAT for
all of the CPEs?

Getting new blocks from you upstream should take them about 10 minutes.

I recommend you go straight to ARIN and do the justification for a /16.

um... Just think about your network as it will be in ten years, at your
current rate of expansion, and then project your need ahead two months
instead of 10 years, and you'll be fine.

I got all my /24 and /16 NET-BLKs from nic.ddn.mil under direct
assignment a couple of decades ago, but they were requiring
justifications even when it was internic.net, before ARIN.

Yes it absolutely does.

What you might do, depending on what you're trying to do, is create a
new NS RR for it in the master db file, and then slave the master.

You can also make your machine a manual master by doing an AXFR of the
zonefile from the AUTH server, then changing the SOA and NS Records in
that zonefile to indicate that your new server is actually the (or at
least one of) AUTH name server for that zone.

But really, most of the reasons you would do the second item (which it
sounds like you're trying to do), probably aren't part of why you're
doing this.

If you want the server to answer AUTH, then merely slave the master, coz
what you're doing is bordering on what is known as creating a 'hidden
master'. Which is what we do with servers for rootzones or TLD zones
where the real master isn't even accessible from the outside, and only
allows for zone AXFRs from the machines that are 'slaving' the hidden
master, and even though they're slaving it, it is their IPs that are in
the NS records as AUTH for the zone(s), making them AUTH, and masters,
even though they're slaving the zone from a hidden master.

We do this too in registries.

 I'm trying to
> build this new system without messing with the production system.

Just edit the db file for the zone in question on the master, adding
your new box as AUTH for the zone w/an  NS RR, then on the new box,
merely slave the master.

Don't forget to up your serial before HUP'ing the master when you load
the new zonefile.

if you are trying to set up a new forward facing master, and slave the
zone from a hidden master, then the SOA should be the machine that is
slaving the hidden master, and all other AUTH servers should simply
slave that machine's zonefile, with their glue included  in that file.

Yup. I pointed that out on the other list too.

Could be as simple as not upping your serial too ;)

I like this format - works well with scripts

mmdd## - that should give you more than enough updates to your
zonefiles each day for an AUTH server.

And look for those missing periods, braces, semicolons, etc., like David
pointed out below. hosts for A RRs end w/periods too, and for the rp
don't forget that it's all dots - no "@" sign.

Try loading a dummy zone with just a couple of hosts w/simple A RRs and
build from there ;) Use that SOA for the top of your template.

Always up your serial whenever you HUP.

Just parse through it - I'm sure you'll find it. Also, if that's not it,
make sure your running RFC compliant FQDNs. IOW, no "_", which,
depending upon how you compiled BIND you may need to specifically allow
- - otherwise BIND will reject those. Microsoft likes to promote the use
of underscores in machine names - forcing the admin to give those boxes
different hostnames of provide support for those non RFC compliant
hostnames - many DNS servers out there on the Internet won't anyway -
none of mine will.

Re: [WISPA] Fast DNS cache

2010-06-02 Thread Bradley D. Thornton
ddies -
it's not if, but how many hundreds of instances of named have been
compromised by each these little cr4ck3r bois.

I can remember rolling back to BIND 4 and reporting specific BIND 8
versions via chaos to keep them off of our backs (works too for a few
days until there's a patch, since most of them don't focus on really old
exploits or keep those kits on hand).

Finally, I would like to point out that I wholeheartedly agree with
Bernstein on one very important point that you can use to tune your DNS
servers (and by proxy, everyone elses), and that is to never ever ever
ever ever use CNAME RRs in your zonefiles.

There's just no justification for it whatsoever, and it causes
completely unnecessary recursion where there doesn't need to be any -
use A RRs instead. There's no competent or compelling reason why you
shouldn't use A RRs instead of CNAME RRs (especially with MX RRs!!!).

If you look at the default zonefile templates that come with those
CentOS cPanel accounts, you'll see that the MX records have CNAMES for
them. Why? Because Cricket Liu had them in his book?

Get rid of CNAMES: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/notes.html#aliases and
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/8815/fid/699

Well Mike, I know I don't chide in her much but I certainly hope that
helps. Sounds like you've got lots of time to play around before you
have to entrench yourself in one of the camps anyway, so keep us posted
and I'm definitely interested in hearing how you're progressing on this.

Kindest regards,

I did something like this in the past when I had a building in San Clemente.

I went to a prominent household name of a tennant in my building that
manufactured sunglasses - before they got super huge and moved further
north into their own facilities in a giant building alongside the 405
freeway and...

Told them I would like to bring them Internet service - at which point
they told me (Politely, because I was in the same building as them) that
they already had that taken care of.

I explained that I would still like to do so regardless - for free. That
I would help set up 'part' of their compay to use my service to them,
say, non mission-critical machinery and some of their clerical personnel.

I went on to offer that we could just leave it for a couple of months
and then they could give me a call or I'd check back.

My extreme candidness and "it costs you nothing, no strings" approach
was compelling enough for them to give it a shot - against the
recommendation of their IT dudette.

so I hooked 'em up, by simply freelining across the roof since we didn't
want to bother with a permanent connection, and made sure the CEO knew
that they could use as little or as much as they wanted, no strings.

About two and a half months went by and I said nothing, while their
stats on the router continued to climb, until one day when I was walking
out to my car going to lunch their IT dudette approached me.

She said that their CEO wanted to have a chat with me, and so whenever
it was convenient for me to just stop by.

SOLD! Plus, I got to pick out about ten pairs of sunglasses and a couple
of T-shirts for free too ;)

We did a proper installation, and based on word of mouth in the building
I sold the entire rest of the building, about 10 different
suites/companies total.

Finkle, it appears that you're not going to have a problem bringing in
the service and eating it for a couple of months while you get
customers, and prolly the best place to start to recoup your cost is
right there in your own building.

A superior service stands for itself, and knowing the "Good Internet
Service" isn't going to remain free forever, they're prolly going to
switch over in the short term. You just have to sell it, which is easy
if you give it away free for a month or two.

A perfect starting point - have other's pay for the connection you want
for yourself and go from there ;)

Just an idea.

Hope that helps :)

Re: [WISPA] OT Hotmail email black hole

2009-07-10 Thread Bradley D. Thornton
rough todays n00bie admins 
who don't understand that the Tech Contact record in WHOIS, or the 
address ab...@sld.tld is meant to accept incoming requests from other 
admins who are being scanned, attacked, DDOS'd or SPAMmed by those 
provider's subscribers.

Rarely - and I mean rarely, do I EVER unblock something once it is 
blocked, and I carry that list of IP blocks w/me from domain to domain 
and site to site. When I launch a new site or server, anyone who has 
ever messed with my boxes is already in my firewall and /etc/hosts.deny 
as well as portsentry.

It ain't kewl when you get rooted, and with all the insecure Php sites 
out there needing constant patching to alleviate (discovered) 
vulnerabilities, I just start from scratch with a suitcase full of 
blocked domains and IP CIDRs.

Re: [WISPA] Fw: [TowerTalk] Field Day tower fatality

2009-07-08 Thread Bradley D. Thornton
That's really unfortunate, but part of the issue. Field Day and other 
Ham Fest activities are kinda like an annual racing regatta. I've always 
been a cruiser, but racers get out the slide rules and factor the 
smallest guage for their shrouds, stays, and other standing rigging just 
to cut back on a few pounds of weight.

These events aren't nearly as extreme as sailboats rigged for racing, 
obviously, but it is a 'pack it in - pack it out' sort of event, which 
dictates less hardware to lug around.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Cordless VOIP Phone

2009-07-07 Thread Bradley D. Thornton
Yeah I'd recommend a Sipura/ATA w/a nice cordless phone too, although 
the prices have come down considerably on the wireless VoIP phones 
themselves. For wired applications, I had great success with the 
Grandstream BudgeTone 1xx and 2xx series, and the same basic units are 
still available in wireless variants and with different brandings. They 
worked without a hitch w/Asterisk.

Haven't been too active in that for a while, but I think it was 
VoIPstore that had good prices and support.

I keep getting these emails from PerfecTone (They look like 
Grandstreams) too, although I don't know who really distributes them in 
numbers less than a sea container full of them (from China).

I can shoot you over some of the SPAMs I've received from them if you 
want to request some of those product sheets from me offlist.

Hi Graham,

And thanks so much! That's exactly what I was looking for!

I'm sure I"ll have more questions later on as things progress, so I'll 
make sure to hang on to your email addy and look forward to speaking 
with soon on this :)

Oh, you're right, the link is a little clunky wrt finding one's way 
around, but such is the nature of bureaucracies ;)

have a tentative offer to to some buildout in Victoria Australia, 
pending the completion of a local project here.

But I don't know where to look for their laws regarding unlicensed

Does anyone have any pointers/links for me to research?
