Re: Using Mobile Phone email addys for monitoring
Anyone else have any issues, past or present, with this kind of thing? It takes ~ 7 minutes from the time Nagios sends an email sms to ATT to the time it hits my phone. I'm using @mobile.mycingular.com because mmode.com stopped working (which results in at least two txt pages vs. the one I was used to). Is SMTP to a mobile phone a fundamentally flawed way to do this? I'm beginning to think it is!

Re: large organization nameservers sending icmp packets to dns servers.
Drew Weaver wrote: Is it a fairly normal practice for large companies such as Yahoo! And Mozilla to send icmp/ping packets to DNS servers? If so, why?

I blogged about this (blog.mozilla.com/mrz, somewhere there) and Asa blog'd about it over at http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2007/03/trying_to_load.html . Mozilla uses Citrix Netscalers and we're currently using dynamic proximity for load balancing between data centers. After Asa's post, we found poorly documentation that led to misconfiguration of the probe settings. I've cut down the number of probes (default was icmp, udp and tcp:80 to a nameserver) and instead of the ~10 complaints a day I was getting, I get many one a month.

While I understand that some place may want to put policies that every v4 part must be exactly same as v6 I think more realistic view is better. You should have servers ready to answer v6 but look at your traffic - is it really necessary to add v6 to your load-balancer or would it be ok to just have record pointing to particular system (even if 7 others are available) because the amount of traffic makes more sense. Now when v6 traffic increase there would be more pressure for vendors to make load-balancers support v6 as well and you'd not have problems then. But if you're still thinking about v6 load-balancers, then I recommend taking a look at http://kb.linuxvirtualserver.org/wiki/IPVS For me, this seriously comes down to ease of deployment. I don't have to duplicate servers just for v6. Infact, all I have to do is add a v6 vip and I'm done. Oh, and it lets me roll v6 out in a production manner, HA and all. I do agree that the traffic level is nearly insignificant but the fact that my vendor supports it and I don't have to manage yet another system, makes my life easier. - mz

anycasting behind different ASNs?
Are there any practical issues with announcing the same route behind different ASNs? Shortly I'll have two seperate sites (EU, US) announcing their own space behind their own ASNs but have a desire to anycast a particular network out of both locations as well. (This is just my attempted to now have to deal with GRE tunnels between sites that aren't logically connected anyways and using the same ASN).
Re: anycasting behind different ASNs?
william(at)elan.net wrote: What is the problem you're trying to solve that you think inconsistent origin AS announcements of the same network would solve which announcements (from same locations) with same AS would not solve? Mostly to avoid GRE tunnels and the added complexity therein. My real question was whether anyone actually cared about inconsistent AS paths and did something (drop traffic) because of it. Appears that it's not much of an issue.
Re: anycasting behind different ASNs?
This is a common confusion by many low/mid-level engineers and sales engineers who claim their network having lower AS number somehow makes them more trafficked and preferred AS :) Reminds of me Genuity's old website that, in h1 declared Autonomous System 1.
