dotUS DNS problems on July 7
On July 7, 2005, NeuStar received a handful of reports that DNS resolvers were unable to resolve dotUS domains, plus the mention of the problem on the NANOG list. From the reports received, the DNS problem seemed to impact a limited number of independent organizations but was not widespread. The reports followed a maintenance operation at one DNS site. During the maintenance operation a new piece of network equipment was installed. At approximately 10pm EDT (July 8 0200 UTC) the state of a previously operating load balancer was reset. At that time affected servers at independent sites resumed resolving dotUS names. We have reviewed and revised our maintenance procedures to prevent a reoccurrence of this issue. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis+1-571-434-5468 NeuStar If you knew what I was thinking, you'd understand what I was saying.
RE: Switch advice please - followup
Device manger is nice, however the code/hardware isn't, sorry I'm biast, were a nortel shop... :) Nortel?3Com aren't too bad. From memory Nortel are actually better at higherthroughput levels.Nortel has a GUI Device Management system via SNMP which is pretty good.They also have intuitive HTTP access for most things and the console givesyou a menu or a commandline option.Look at the Nortel 5510/5520/5530 switches for Gigabit throughput...Mark.

Re: MCI billing fraud ... again
We've certainly experienced WorldCom's billing ineptness. For years we tried to clear up billing errors without getting anywhere. After WCOM's bankruptcy, things seem different. We've actually been able to get the old outstanding errors cleared up - rather easily, I might add. So, far, the 'new' MCI seems to be a big improvement over the old WorldCom. FYI - MCI is changing the format of their invoices, so there probably will be errors over the next couple of months until they get all the bugs worked out.
