Hi All,
I have been looking at my allocations and would like to weed out
the dead wood.
What is the easiest way to do this ?

That wont work, as the DNS function of the portal is not live yet.

All,
I've hacked together a script that goes through the ampr.org DNS zone file
and pulls out callsigns and related A, CNAME, and MX records.
Example:
CALL: N0SFH
dhcp-20.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.20
dhcp-21.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.21
dhcp-22.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.22
dhcp-23.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.23
dhcp-24.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.24
dhcp-25.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.25
dhcp-26.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.26
dhcp-27.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.27
dhcp-28.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.28
dhcp-29.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.29
dhcp-30.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.30
gw.n0sfh IN A 44.50.192.1
n0sfh-1 IN A 44.50.192.5
Line count= 13
I could take the call signs and run them against QRZ.com (I have a XML
subscription) and/or the Radio Amateur Call Book Data (The "Flying Horse"
CD - I'm willing to buy the data).
I could use that data to 1) determine if the call sign was still active 2)
try to find an e-mail address associated with the call sign.
I could then attempt to send an e-mail message asking the call sign owner
to update their DNS entries via the portal. In the e-mail we could give
the call sign owner 60-90 days to update their DNS entries or they would be
deleted.
I came up with 17899 potential call signs in the zone file.
I would need:
1. Permission from the ARDC to send e-mails on its behalf.
2. A way to whittle down the file further, if possible.
3. Volunteers to translate the notification e-mail into multiple languages.
4. Someone who has an ISP or mail host willing to allow the sending of
10's of thousands of e-mails without it getting flagged as SPAM (I would
want to try and contact each call sign owner with a valid e-mail at least
three times before the deadline).
5. Access to the portal's DNS database to determine if someone registered
their entries.
Thoughts?

Guys I am not a moderator, owner or anything else... just a quickly becoming
disinterested Coordinator in this group. 1 Reason the thread topics are out
of whack.
Take this one.. below titled (Verifying the Identities of IP
Coordinators,)yet contains only discussions about DNS. It is no longer about
identities, of IP Coordinator yet it goes on and on and on about DNS under a
misleading Subject line. Then there is the THREAD more correctly titled
Dynamic Addresses. How is anyone following both of these and making sense
out of them. ? I really do not care what we talk about.. But I personally
like being able to pick and choose what I read about.. without having to
fish every message. When we are talking about orangutans, under a title of
Planets from Space.. Sure is miss leading..
Just todays gripe.. Carry on I am sure nothing will change.

My guess would be that it's not a DNS server load issue but more of an
administrative / architecture issue. If stale/abandoned entries are not
purged, it makes the task of design and coordination a tad more difficult
since new hosts/networks have to work around the already assigned ones.

I ask again
What is so important to clean the DNS from all the amount of unused
hosts ? is it a matter of load on the DNS that result in a slow response
?
or any other effect im not aware of ?
The only thing i can think of is making zone transfer of big file twice a
day but in this days transferring even 10 MegaByte file each day
consider nothing
Maybe Brian can answer this ?
However to answer your question
Authorized users can change the DNS data there is a format needed to be
sent in the email that the robot know to inter-prate something
such as : <host name > <add or delete> <what kind of record should it
be (MX A etc)> <Ip adress>
you send each host as a single line and you can more then one line
Since the robot have a format checking mechanism you dont have to be a DNS
expert in order to add or delete hosts
specially if you want only to add host name and not complex things such as
MX records or CNAME

1. What information must a coordinator send to the ampr.org DNS to
create/modify a listing?
2. Is there a standard entry format for the information a coordinator
sends in, or is it parsed by hand?
4. Is it possible for me to reformat the existing files, knowing
little about DNS?
hth.

I would implement that using a dynamic routing of a fixed address rather than assignment
of a dynamic address (and having to cope with a changing address).

Yes the RIP broadcasts come over protocol 4 from amprgw.sysnet.ucsd.edu
Here is a network dump of some directed to my gateway:

I am firmly against that.
Contrary to the Internet as it is now, we are not a collection of transient users that only use a couple
of centralized services, but we are all peers that should be able to both use and offer services and make
connections in all directions.
That is what makes us different from ordinary internet users, and using dynamic or even translated
addresses kills all that and makes the whole AMPRnet superfluous.

Can we start a new thread title for all the items that are coming up... I
marked this thread on my system as DOA and I see I am confused going by the
thread titles...
No Offense.. Just asking for some semblance of order..
Many Thanks 73 Jerry N9LYA

Now really...
You actually want a dynamic DNS?
We can not manage the regular DNS entries in the portal yet.
But what is stopping you to send a DNS robot update mail on IP change?
