RE: Where did freeipdb IP utility site go?
Are there any good tools for IPv6 address management? Is there a BCP (convention, whatever) for storing IPv6 addresses into SQL databases? Particularly where you need to mix them with IPv4 addresses. I know postgresql has an ipv6 type but I was hoping for something more portable. The best I could come up with was packed decimal(39) and assume that if more than 32 bits are set it's IPv6 (ignoring the special case of all zeros etc.) The other would be to just use 4 unsigned long ints similarly but it makes comparison and other ops clunky. -- -Barry Shein The World | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD| Login: Nationwide Software Tool Die| Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*

While I can understand the desire to use locally derived code, etc.. it does make sense to not reinvent the wheel daily :) OT: Speaking of which, someone know of something like the multicast beacon software that works for unicast stuff that is free? I've wanted to make some udp-like probe matrix like this and with all the folks that are asking about cogent, l3, etc.. outages was thinking that a user community of this type of a test matrix could be interesting :) Think like the internet health report but with more sites (possibly hundreds). - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from [EMAIL PROTECTED] clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.

I am a PostgreSQL weenie, I admit, but if you can at all use it, I strongly suggest you use the inet and cidr datatypes in PostgreSQL for this. Alternatives often give up the data rigour that you get from a datatype. Portability is often a target that forces you to give up all the nice features that you got when you chose your RDBMS. I suppose in other systems, you could put a trigger on a varchar() or whatever field that would validate the address on the way in. That's what I'd do if I had to give up the datatype.

Are there any good tools for IPv6 address management? There's so many bits they don't need managing brandon
Re: Where did freeipdb IP utility site go?
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.

Do you guys still have the code running around somewhere? I found some of it on archive.org, and would like to mirror it or something, as I like the product and work at a datacenter that can do that kind of thing.

Dear Brian, I was trying to investigate some the ip management tools and followed the link www.freeipdb.org and was more than a little upset with what I found. This domain name apparently has been taken by a porn site that is wanting to auction it off. does anyone know if the project died or if it changed domain names.
