It is.

The server space is outside the blastproof area. Go figure.

...recent attempts to get mtr working through a cisco fwsm got me sniffing,
and yes indeed, icmp is the protocol in play with mtr (both outbound and

Isn't 'specific' good for operations related stuff?  I mean if you are just
complaining about something for the sake of complaining or are giving
examples I can see where names wouldn't be necessary.

ARIN Routing Registry vs RADB vs X

2008-09-25 Thread Craig Holland
Hi,

I recently ran across a situation where a large ISP only accepts IRR
entries generated by RADB to build their path filters.  I use the ARIN
Routing Registry.  Is this a common practice?  Should I convert over to
RADB?

Thanks,
Craig

...ones that only originate from RADB.  This is the part that I found
strange considering the ARIN records are in (show up in) RADB and they
are what most would consider a trusted source.

They gave no particular reason.  I figured I'd ask ya'all before I
started to push back and use phrases like 'silly', 'ridiculous', and
'pointless' in my argument to them.
