Re: Where did freeipdb IP utility site go?

2007-07-26 Thread randal k
Incredibly enough, I contacted the maintainer about this a while ago. Here
is the cut & paste:

Looks like we forgot to renew the domain registration.  I was leaning
towards the idea of moving it to something like sourceforge, but I wanted to
clean up some things first.

The page is available at:

Re: Thoughts on best practice for naming router infrastructure in DNS

Neither one of these seems well-equipped to deal with "virtual"
interfaces such as an ethernet interface that is VRRP or HSRP'd between
two routers (eg x.x.x.10 is your "virtual" IP for the subnet's gateway,
router 1 has physical interface IP of x.x.x.8 and router 2 has x.x.x.9).



This particular issue has been confounding to work around as well. The issue
of constantly updating DNS to match the current topology is a pain, but in
my opinion, very necessary.
