			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello<br />
<br />
I'm new and I have a question to submit to you. This is my situation.<br />
<br />
I have some company services on one machine that is inside of my lan. I have a static ip (for example: 20.20.20.20) for this and I have setted my dns to accomplish my needs, configuring (always for example) the subdomain &quot;forge.mycompany.com&quot; as A record on my static IP 20.20.20.20.<br />
<br />
Now, all works well from the outside, but from the inside of my lan, if I put in my browser &quot;http://forge.mycompany.com&quot; I can't resolve it.<br />
<br />
I tried adding a &quot;fake&quot; domain zone &quot;mycompany.com&quot; in my internal dns server (based on Bind9 and used to resolve internal addresses on the zone &quot;mycompany.int&quot;), setting a CNAME for &quot;forge.mycompany.com&quot; to &quot;forge.mycompany.int&quot; that I had previously created. Now all seems work also inside my lan, but obviously now I can't resolve all other existing &quot;mycompany.com&quot; subdomains.<br />
<br />
I hope I was clear... Anyone have an idea?<br />
<br />
Thx</div> ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>In addition to funding <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story231771.html" target="_blank">broadband projects</a> in the states, particularly in rural areas, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the stimulus package, includes funds for <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press/2009/BTOP_mapping_090701.pdf" target="_blank">collection of state-level broadband data</a>, as well as state-wide broadband mapping and planning.<br />
<br />
The project, which will also help create a national broadband map, is being managed by the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).<br />
<br />
The State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program, announced on July 1, is a competitive, merit-based matching grant program that will provide approximately $240 million in grants to assist states or their designees to develop state-specific data on the deployment levels and adoption rates of broadband services, the NTIA said. Awardees are required to contribute at least 20 percent non-federal matching funds toward project costs.<br />
<br />
Each state could have only a single, eligible entity to perform the mapping. Applications for the program were accepted from July 14 to August 14.<br />
<br />
On September 9, the NTIA <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press/2009/BTOP_mappingtotals_090909.pdf" target="_blank">announced </a>that it had received applications representing all 50 states, five territories, and the District of Columbia. Fifty-two of the 56 states (or their designated entities) also submitted requests for broadband planning funds, typically about $500,000 each over a 5-year period, the NTIA said, which also released a <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press/2009/BTOP_applicantlist_090909.pdf" target="_blank">list</a> of the applicants.<br />
<br />
Now, the NTIA is beginning to announce grant awards made to the states for mapping. On October 5, the NTIA <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press/2009/BTOP_MappingAwards_091005.pdf" target="_blank">announced</a> the first grants:<br />
<ul><li>California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC): approximately $1.8 million</li>
<li>Indiana Office of Technology (IOT): approximately $1.3 million</li>
<li>Rural Economic Development Center, Inc. (e-NC Authority): approximately $1.6 million</li>
<li>Vermont Center for Geographic Information (VCGI): approximately $1.2 million</li>
</ul><br />
The CPUC was also awarded $500,000 for the cost of broadband planning activities in California over four years, bringing its grant award total to approximately $2.3 million, and the e-NC Authority was awarded approximately $435,000 for the cost of broadband planning activities in North Carolina over five years, bringing its grant award total to over $2 million, the NTIA said.<br />
<br />
On October 23, the NTIA <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press/2009/BTOP_MappingWVgrant_20091023.html" target="_blank">announced</a> a grant of approximately $1.4 million to fund broadband mapping and planning activities in West Virginia. In addition, the West Virginia Geologic and Economic Survey  will receive $185,000 for the cost of broadband planning activities in West Virginia over two years, bringing its grant award total to approximately $1.4 million.<br />
<br />
Other states are waiting to hear responses.<br />
<br />
The national broadband mapping project has come under <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story220736.html" target="_blank">criticism</a> in recent months for bowing to industry pressure and planning to put less detail in the map.</div> ]]></content:encoded>

			<title>News Story Groups Working to Set Up .Gay Domain</title>

			<description>Two groups are working to set up a .gay top-level Internet domain, with plans for using some of the proceeds for registering sites in that domain to support gay causes, according to an article (http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/competing-groups-press-for-a-gay-internet-suffix/) in the...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Two groups are working to set up a .gay top-level Internet domain, with plans for using some of the proceeds for registering sites in that domain to support gay causes, according to an <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/competing-groups-press-for-a-gay-internet-suffix/" target="_blank">article</a> in the <span style="font-style:italic">New York Times</span>.<br />
<br />
While it can cost up to $400,000 to set up a new top-level domain, companies compete for control, because the <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.icann.org/en/tlds/select.htm" target="_blank">Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers</a>, which oversees the development and management of the Internet’s unique identifiers, awards the registry rights to just one applicant for each new top-level domain, which can result in millions of dollars per year, the <span style="font-style:italic">Times</span> said.<br />
<br />
Currently, the two groups are competing for the right to apply by each claiming to be more gay than the other. &quot;The Dot Gay Alliance (<a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.dotgay.org/" target="_blank">dotgay.org</a>), out of New York City, is being led by a longtime gay activist,&quot; the <span style="font-style:italic">Times</span> said. &quot;And dotGay (<a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.dotgay.com/" target="_blank">dotgay.com</a>) is being spearheaded by a heterosexual German man in Riga, Latvia, who has incorporated a company in San Francisco.&quot;<br />
<br />
The Dot Gay Alliance points out that it is run by a gay man, while dotGay points out that it is based in San Francisco and that its head has experience setting up new top-level domains.<br />
<br />
Neither of the for-profit groups has said what percentage of revenues it would commit for gay causes, though Joe Dolce, founder and executive director of the Dot Gay Alliance, spoke favorably of Al Gore's declaration that he would support a particular group's right to the .eco top-level domain -- where a <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/29/comapnies-vie-for-control-of-dot-eco/?hp" target="_blank">similar fight</a> is taking place -- only if half the proceeds went to environmental causes.</div> ]]></content:encoded>

			<title>News Story What Broadband Projects are in Line for Stimulus Funding?</title>
			<link>http://www.daniweb.com/news/story231771.html</link>

			<description>In the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the stimulus package, Congress appropriated $7.2 billion for broadband grants, loans, and loan guarantees to be administered by the USDA’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) and the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>In the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the stimulus package, Congress appropriated $7.2 billion for broadband grants, loans, and loan guarantees to be administered by the USDA’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) and the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The deadline for submissions was earlier this year.<br />
<br />
Now, you can <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/applications/search.cfm" target="_blank">search the database yourself</a> to find what projects were submitted.<br />
<br />
<a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://blog.endeavourpartners.net/2009/09/21/broadband-stimulus-28-billion-dollars-in-applications-chasing-7-2-billion-dollars-in-funding-%E2%80%93-including-alaska%E2%80%99s-new-and-improved-underwater-bridge-to-nowhere/" target="_blank">Endeavour Partners</a>, a consulting company, downloaded the data to see what it could find out about the proposals.<br />
<br />
First of all, $28 billion in requests was submitted for $7.2 billion in funding.<br />
<br />
Other observations include:<ul><li>2,186 applications were received</li>
<li>The average application size was $12.7 million, but the median application size was $2.7 million</li>
<li>Alaska had the largest total dollar amount requested, at $1.3 billion</li>
<li>The largest application was from RADgov, a proposal to build and connect computer learning centers in underserved communities across the US for $938 million</li>
<li>The top 10 states requesting the most money were California, Florida, Colorado, Alaska, New York, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Maryland, and Illinois.</li>
<li>The top 10 states requesting the most money per capita were Alaska, the District of Columbia, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Hawaii, Vermont, Colorado, New Mexico, and Maryland.</li>
</ul><br />
While a number of the top 10 per capita states actually are laggards in terms of broadband availability, &quot;three of the top 10 states ranked on funding requests per capita are in the top 10 for actual broadband performance:  Rhode Island, the District of Columbia, and Maryland,&quot; the group said. &quot;These are all densely populated areas with meaningful broadband competition.&quot;<br />
<br />
Awards for this first round are expected to be announced in November.<br />
<br />
&quot;It will be interesting to see how the process plays out – if awards will be made to a few large, pork barrel projects or if dollars will be carefully allocated to the rural states and areas where broadband economics break down and private sector competition is likely to remain weak,&quot; Endeavour concluded.</div> ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi,<br />
<br />
I have 2 machines on my network and a router. <br />
my router is 192.168.1.1 and my machines are:<br />
darkstar 192.168.1.15 (Ubuntu)<br />
dazlaptop 192.168.1.16 (WXP)<br />
<br />
These two machines share files and work, and when i am in windows XP i can go to the folder directory \\darkstar\ and it opens. <br />
<br />
But when i type ping darkstar it says this:<br />
Pinging darkstar [172.16.142.1] with 32 bytes of data:<br />
<br />
Request timed out. <br />
Request timed out.<br />
Request timed out.<br />
Request timed out.<br />
<br />
This is stupid because i can ping darkstar (192.168.1.15) and it works.<br />
<br />
But i cant use the hostname.<br />
<br />
So i tried flushing the dns. <br />
ipconfig /flushdns<br />
<br />
and it still does the same thing, I have no idea where it got this 172 B class network address from. <br />
<br />
If I try it vice versa it still wont ping.<br />
<br />
daz@darkstar:~$ ping dazlaptop<br />
^C<br />
daz@darkstar:~$ ping 192.168.1.16<br />
PING 192.168.1.16 (192.168.1.16) 56(84) bytes of data.<br />
64 bytes from 192.168.1.16: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=1.48 ms<br />
64 bytes from 192.168.1.16: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=1.23 ms<br />
^C<br />
--- 192.168.1.16 ping statistics ---<br />
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms<br />
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.231/1.355/1.480/0.129 ms<br />
<br />
So it works Via IP, and for some reason samba works fine, but I have no clue why it wont let me flush the dns and let me use the hostname.<br />
<br />
Also it only does this sometimes after the machines have been restarted.<br />
<br />
Any ideaS?</div> ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi,<br />
<br />
I would like to look at restricting our external DNS servers to only respond for the domains that we own. Firstly, I would like to ask if this is the convention, or does everybody set their DNS to answer all queries for everyone?<br />
<br />
Assuming not, we will still want our externals to do recursive lookups for our internal traffic so we will need an ACL to identify internal networks and allow recursion.<br />
<br />
Would I also need a 'zone &quot;.&quot; recursion no' stanza, so that all other traffic will be denied or would the ACL be enough? <br />
<br />
Looking at my named.conf, it looks like it has been set up like this in the past, but this has been commented out.<br />

<br />
I've had a short period of time recently to learn and implement DNS cache-only in our organisation. Trouble is, according to my tcpdumps, the amount of traffic on port 53 has increased. This is of course the exact opposit of the desired effect. Would y'all mind looking over my config? <br />
<br />
FYI, the machine is an Exim MTA handling mail traffic. There are 2 internal and 2 external DNS servers as well as this machine. resolv.conf is pointed to local. Stuff I dig appears in the cache dump. I'm not sure if I should have the zone specified as there is no zonefile on this machine, but it did seem to get the internal traffic going again.<br />
<br />
RHEL 5 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5PAE<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi all,<br />
<br />
This gets a bit involved, so please bear with me  :icon_confused:<br />
I have owned the domain <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://www.chocolatelover.net" target="_blank">chocolatelover.net</a> for over 9 years now.<br />
For several of those years, I registered and had it hosted by services located in the USA.<br />
However, at one renewal period, I switched it to a registrar and host located in the Philippines. I kept it there one year.<br />
An oversight on my part witnessed my failing to renew my domain.<br />
Thus, chocolatelover.net went into a &quot;Redemption Period&quot;.<br />
To get my domain back, I had to pay around $150 USD.<br />
While I am admitting that failure to renew was ultimately my fault, I felt my registrar <span style="font-style:italic">could </span>have e-mailed me to give me a warning.<br />
<br />
I realized that trying to save a few dollars by going with a Filipino registrar and host had ironically wound up costing me far more, so I switched my registrar to GoDaddy and my hosting service to another domestic firm, hgpowerhosting.com.<br />
<br />
OK, now to the crux of my problem.<br />
Even tho I switched to GoDaddy and HG Powerhosting around 2 years ago, <a rel="nofollow" class="t" href="http://extremetracking.com/open;sum?login=spycat" target="_blank">most of my page hits come from the Philippines</a>. <br />
I am wondering if there might be some designator...<span style="font-style:italic">somewhere</span>  that indicates that this domain is located in the Philippines. I have looked at Godaddy's and my host's config files and saw nothing that would indicate that.<br />
I even tried for a time adding the Meta Tag: &lt;meta name=&quot;country&quot; content=&quot;USA&quot; /&gt; but that didn't result in any change in visitor's being primarily from the Philippines.<br />
<br />
So...does anyone have any clues as to why this might be?<br />
Perhaps it is coincidental, but it just seems like such  an oddity that the majority of my visitors would not be from the USA.<br />
<br />
Sooo...help?  :?:<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Rick</div> ]]></content:encoded>

I am in the middle of creating my design doc for DNS. My aim is to hide my primary NS from external world. And I am planning to use only secondary servers for query handling.<br />
<br />
I have created XYZ.com zone and added two NS RRs which are secondary servers. I am forced to give my primary NS details when creating SOA record. Whether the primary NS RR, which we have given in the SOA RR will be safe for the internet (threats) or not?<br />
<br />
One more added question. Whether I need to register my primary Name server in APNIC? Because, primary name server wont be published to the external world. Whether its really needed to register this in the APNIC?</div> ]]></content:encoded>

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not<br />
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.<br />
......<br />
550 5.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your reverse hostname,<br />
    [83.212.248.x] (in reply to RCPT TO command)<br />
<br />
I found on internet that the problem comes from an impossibility to perform the Reverse DNS to the ip address 83.212.248.x<br />
<br />
I have a DNS server [83.212.248.y] that is supposed to &quot;reverse&quot; (I think) solve  83.212.248.x.<br />
<br />
I got some help and the told me to add the following to /etc/bind/named.conf<br />
<br />
zone &quot;0/25.248.212.83.in-addr.arpa&quot; {<br />
        type master;<br />
        file &quot;/etc/bind/efa.rev&quot;;<br />
};<br />
<br />
and to create the file efa.rev :<br />
<br />
$ORIGIN 0/25.248.212.83.in-addr.arpa.<br />
$TTL 86400<br />
<br />
@ IN SOA dns1efa.efa.gr. root.dns1.efa.gr. (<br />
      2009091001<br />
      86400<br />
      7200<br />

      3600 )<br />
<br />
@   IN  NS  dns1efa.efa.gr.<br />
<br />
6   IN  PTR mail.efa.gr.<br />
<br />
I did that and ran bind9 restart. But it still doesn't work.<br />
I'm slowly getting crazy and it won't be reversible :) could you help me please ?<br />
<br />
Thank you very much<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi,<br />
I have a problem with my setup which has &quot;multiple&quot; DNS-forwards, does that even work?.<br />
<br />
Here is what I try to do:<br />
DNS-server A forwards the domain whatever.domain.com to DNS-server B which forwards the request to DNS-server C where the answer is.<br />
<br />
Here is a part of named.conf for DNS-server A (10.0.0.1):<br />
<br />
options {<br />
        directory &quot;/var/named&quot;;<br />
        allow-transfer { any; };<br />
        forward only;<br />
        forwarders {<br />
                10.0.0.2;<br />
        };<br />
};<br />
<br />
zone &quot;domain.whatever.com&quot; in {<br />
        type forward;<br />
        forwarders { 10.0.0.2; };<br />
};<br />
<br />
Here is a part of named.conf for DNS-server B (10.0.0.2):<br />
<br />
options {<br />
        directory &quot;/var/named&quot;;<br />
        allow-transfer { any; };<br />
        forward only;<br />
        forwarders {<br />
                10.0.0.3;<br />
        };<br />
};<br />
<br />
zone &quot;domain.whatever.com&quot; in {<br />
        type forward;<br />
        forwarders { 10.0.0.3; };<br />
};<br />
<br />
DNS-server C (10.0.0.3) has the correct answer.<br />
<br />
dig @10.0.0.2 server1.whatever.domain.com gives a correct answer.<br />
<br />
but<br />
<br />
dig @10.0.0.1 server1.whatever.domain.com doesn't give any answer.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know why DNS-server A can't get any answer? Can the answer go via DNS-server B and then to A or should it go directly from C to A?</div> ]]></content:encoded>

I did the same in DOMAINB and DOMAINA resolved correctly as well.  This week when I try to ping DOMAINB from DOMAINA first result was &quot;host not found&quot; and after scavenging stale records and updating server records DOMAINB now resolves to the EXTERNAL ip address when I need it to rout over the VPN.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!</div> ]]></content:encoded>
