Chris at al,I want to remind everyone of this. As far as I'm aware the portal policy has Sai that if you don't login with 6 months (or something as such) your "resources" can be removed.I don't understand why we all can proceed with and you delete all the state records.So next question technically- Why the resistance if any one of us agreed already to return our resources for e.g. if as we as in the US IT industry "get hit by a bus" and become an SK. In 6 months or so...viola.- KB3VWG -------- Original message --------From: lleachii--- via 44net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Date: 6/14/24 04:21 (GMT-05:00) To: lleachii--- via 44net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Subject: [44net] Point 3 - The subdomain policy that is in progress Chris, Thanks for steering things back on topic.

Chris, Thanks, I think point one has been addressed mutiple times. I understand that.I don't understand if or when they will be deleted. I was given an apology for what I understood to be the reason this line of discussion was opened with the Executive Staff, my Regional Coordinator and myself.I know the discussion got clouded by others, but that seems to be why I can't do anything with my records since...April 4 as I recall? I understand nobody seem to understand altering a Global DNS record that someone in "West Jiblip" may use - and when it shall change, my apologies.At minimum the apology explained I'd understand that. We can chat about unrelated records, etc. later. Since I also want to make note the discussion went into an example of how I CNAME. I am willing to edit my records if the portal allows (not dns-mdc) as a gesture, if any.- KB3VWG -------- Original message --------From: Chris <chris(a)ardc.net> Date: 6/14/24 04:48 (GMT-05:00) To: lleachii(a)aol.com Cc: lleachii--- via 44net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Subject: Re: [44net] Point 3 - The subdomain policy that is in progress Hi Lynwood,On 14 Jun 2024, at 09:20, lleachii--- via 44net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> wrote:Chris, Thanks for steering things back on topic.

No, not yet. As Rosy said we are developing this policy right now. My hope is that it will be ready soon (days or weeks, hopefully not months).Will you then proceed to delete these "non callsign" entries once one it is implemented?As the policy is not in force yet, I cannot answer this question as it will depend on what the policy ends up stating.Right now we have an SOP in place that that we are working to: - We would prefer everyone to use the callsign.ampr.org format, if you request a subdomain in this format it will be automatically approved provided: - The call sign is yours, - The call sign has been verified. - If you request a subdomain based on one of your call signs that has not been verified you will see a popup advising you to get it verified first, then come back and request the subdomain. - If you request a subdomain that is not based on one of your call signs it will popup a warning advising what our preferred format is. - In both the above two cases you have the option to ignore the warning and continue, in which case a ticket will be created for manual processing. - If we receive a ticket for a subdomain that does not exist in DNS yet (i.e. a new request) the request will be considered on a case by case basis, you may be asked to justify your request, so we can understand if your use case is a good fit, often these requests will be discussed amongst the ARDC staff to gain consensus on the final decision. - If we receive a ticket for a subdomain that already exists in DNS we will first of all attempt to ascertain if you have a legitimate right to request it, e.g. do the existing DNS records match one of your network assignments, or if you are a coordinator one of the network allocations you look after, failing that we will ask you to justify your request. If we are satisfied that your request is legitimate, i.e. you’re not trying to steal someone else’s subdomain! then your request will be approved with the following proviso / warning:—8< snip >8---Important notice about this subdomain approvalOver the past decade, ARDC has accumulated a database of over 51,000 DNS entries, the vast majority of which are unused and “ownership” is unknown. The rollout of the new Portal allows us to clean this up.Thus, in the coming months, ARDC will update our policy around top-level subdomain requests using ampr.org. Subdomains using the format of callsign.ampr.org will be automatically approved; all others will be reviewed by our team. Once approved, you may create lower-level subdomains (e.g., foo.callsign.ampr.org) without further approval.Administrative access to this non-callsign subdomain is being temporarily approved while this policy is being developed. Thus, please consider access to this subdomain as temporary.Once an official policy is in place, we will have a transition period before the official deprecation of subdomains such as this one. Please direct any questions to newportal(a)ampr.org. —8< snip >8—I hope this clears things up.73,ChrisI have some other things to discuss, like the server in the UK that till has high latency for users on other continents, etc. - I'll message you.- KB3VWG_______________________________________________44net mailing list -- 44net(a)mailman.ampr.orgTo unsubscribe send an email to 44net-leave(a)mailman.ampr.org

Re: Update re: subdomains

Dont worry I read manuals, laws and many more things. What you dont seem to understand is the fact that you are not entitled to anything beside what ARDC board/staff decide. What ever the RFC or whatever else you think might mean something. ARDC have the right to decide to change any information they think should apply to all of the IP space they own. The only rights you have is to ask politely if they are ok with letting you use a part of it. They have no other obligation to you than to answer yes or no. And even when they say yes, they have no obligation to give you the control over rDNS, or BGP , geolocalisation, or anything else.

It came with, as you have seen, some major bumps. Today, ARDC is resolving, at least temporarily, one of those hurdles: administrative access to subdomains. As of today, anyone who had a subdomain with ampr.org<http://ampr.org/> before the launch of the new Portal on April 3, 2024, will, for now, have full access to their DNS records. This includes subdomains that fall outside of our preferred format of callsign.ampr.org<http://callsign.ampr.org/>. This administrative access still depends on call sign verification, which requires confirming given name, family name, email, and valid amateur radio license. This step helps us ensure that the network is being used by valid amateur radio operators. During our recent work, we’ve found several bad actors, which is both unfair to the community and a security risk.

There is no such thing. Maybe you misunderstand what I'm referring to. We are responsible for our own stations during an emergency in the US (hence why ARDC shouldn't mess with MY settings since I may be disconnected from them when discovering it). I assumed this was international at any given moment. If you have no clue or understanding, you should remain silent in that case. It's easier to be quiet and learn tan to be loud and wrong. -------- Original message --------From: pete M via 44net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Date: 6/13/24 09:53 (GMT-05:00) To: Amprnet 44 Net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Subject: [44net] Re: Update re: subdomains Since when is it OK to use 44net for any other use than ham experimentation on that IP address space?If you use a network for experimentation as a primary link for emergency you miss understood the use of the 44net.Yes it is appealing to do so. But be aware that this network can and will change over the time. Some stuff will break. Some will cease to exist. And new stuff will appear.ARDC is not a ISP nor a commercial entity that provide professional services for commercial grade networking. If the network infrastructure you use is primary for life safety, better go the commercial route. If you are a BACKUP in case everything else is gone. That is not the same thing, and the authority dealing with ham should better know about it.This is my opinion of the situation and note ARDC view.

Lastly, I guess it was forgotten we all can access the DNS records. I want to highlight something of major concern.I'm begging Rosy to stop doing this misquote of the original count or records to make it seem as if there's today an issue under a new portal system that now handles DNS records. I have no clue why this falsehood keeps being perpetuated to the 44net family. Again if they can be handled post-policy, they take utlization the same resources/CPU/skill to identify and handle now.- KB3VWG -------- Original message --------From: lleachii--- via 44net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Date: 6/13/24 06:33 (GMT-05:00) To: Chris <chris(a)ardc.net> Cc: Steve L <kb9mwr(a)gmail.com>, Amprnet 44 Net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Subject: [44net] Re: Update re: subdomains As I've already explained, after a 4-year process, we have been approved for governmental installation.

Assistance with Configuring rDNS Records for 44Net Subnets
by Razvan YO6RZV 11 Jun '24

11 Jun '24

Hello everyone, I have a question for those of you who have BGP announced subnets from 44Net, specifically regarding the configuration of rDNS (PTR) records for each IP address within the subnet. Recently, I received an allocation of a /24 subnet, which is announced via my Data Center's ASN. Everything is functioning correctly, but I need to configure rDNS for each IP address. This configuration is essential for hosting email servers to prevent potential issues. Here is a dlint output for my gateway's IP address: root@eye:~# dlint 1.77.32.44.in-addr.arpa ;; dlint version 1.4.0, Copyright (C) 1998 Paul A. Balyoz <pab(a)domtools.com> ;; Dlint comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. ;; This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it ;; under certain conditions. Type 'man dlint' for details. ;; command line: /usr/bin/dlint 1.77.32.44.in-addr.arpa ;; flags: inaddr-domain recursive. ;; using dig version 9.9.5 ;; run starting: Fri Jun 7 15:10:37 EEST 2024 ;; ============================================================ ;; Now linting 1.77.32.44.in-addr.arpa ERROR: no name servers found for domain 1.77.32.44.in-addr.arpa === ;; Now linting 32.44.in-addr.arpa ;; Checking serial numbers per nameserver ;; 2024060700 ns1.de.ardc.net. ;; 2024060700 ns.ardc.net. ;; 2024060700 a.gw4.uk. ;; 2024060700 ns2.us.ardc.net. === Based on this output, I believe that the rDNS setup needs to be handled by the ARDC staff. However, I wanted to confirm this to ensure I proceed correctly. I reached out to Chris off-list and received the following response: "You already have the subdomain yo6rzv.ampr.org setup; you can add DNS records under there. For each A record, a PTR record is automatically added in the reverse zone." From my understanding, this does not fully address my requirements, since for example, if IP Address 44.32.77.2 needs to have the rDNS set to -> something.yo44.net, this will not help. I am aware that Chris and the ARDC staff are currently handling a high volume of tickets and requests through the portal. Therefore, I am turning to the community for assistance to avoid adding more to their workload. I appreciate any guidance you can provide and apologize in advance if this question has been addressed previously. I could not find relevant information in my email archive. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Razvan - YO6RZV
