Hi Chris,
Life at Ofcom has overtaken amateur radio activity almost totally for the last 3 1/2 years but I'm starting to "emerge" again, I'm sure that you understand life's nasty way of getting in the way of hobby time.
A number of D-STAR services are still hosted on my servers, including the central dsync reporting tool ( http://dsync.dstar.info/ is the public reporting page but there is an extensive admin portal too) and also some reflectors including REF006 ( http://ref006.dstargateway.org/ ). The servers are due to be re-homed to an A&A data centre, where a few of the staff are amateurs. Some of the D-STAR gateway admins have previously asked about accessing services via ampr.org IP addresses; do you think that this would be an appropriate use of the resource?
Tentatively I asked A&A if they could BGP advertise a subnet of ampr.org and they'd be happy to do that, so it's more of a question of whether D-STAR services for hams would be okay to provide via AMPRNet? Are there any rules that would prevent the dsync pages being dual homed via public IP space and ampr.org IP space? Has anyone managed to regularly route digital voice (UDP) over AMPRNet?
Sorry for all the questions but I know that you will know the answers...
