HP A6600 experiences

2012-02-24 Thread Christopher Pilkington
If anyone has any experiences they'd be willing to share, or even lab reports, on HP A6600, it would be helpful. I believe this is the same product as H3C SR6600. We're being asked to "look at" A6604 facing our IPv4/IPv6 transit. I'd like to get some opinions before I go through effort of get

Bluehost/Hostmonster IPv6 SMTP black hole?

2011-08-16 Thread Christopher Pilkington
Can someone from Bluehost/Hostmonster contact me off list. One of your customers has complained to me that they cannot send mail to us. We've done some testing, and it seems it works to mailservers with only A records, but breaks with mailservers with both A and . (As in, we never even see a de

Power issues at SAVVIS DC3 yesterday?

2011-03-23 Thread Christopher Pilkington
We saw multiple 110V power feeds drop simultaneously yesterday at SAVVIS DC3, around 10am EDT. Anyone else have an issue, or is someone just playing with our breakers? We didn't lose any of our 208V. -cjp
