I have a concern that many gateway operators won't get the notification that the amprgw gateway is changing address. If you know someone who operates a gateway and DOESN'T subscribe to this mailing list, please let them know about the upcoming change.
And it would be really cool if someone could browse the wiki and update the information on amprgw. I'm afraid that its address may be hardcoded in some of the 'how-to' pages. - Brian

I've installed the routing software on the new amprgw machine and tested it, and it's working properly. In anticipation of moving the inbound route for 44/8 from the old amprgw to the new one, it is time for people to start using the AMPRGW.UCSD.EDU (169.228.34.84) address for their outgoing tunnel endpoint.
That will require people who have a firewall to adjust their firewall rules and any default routes they're using.
However, it is still necessary to allow the old amprgw.SYSNET.ucsd.edu (169.228.66.251) in past your firewalls, as up until the moment that we switch the 44/8 route from old to new, inbound traffic from the Internet will still be coming from that old address.
Please make the change and test it as soon as practical so that you don't get caught by the switch. Be sure to let me know if you lose connectivity when you switch over to using the new machine for outbound traffic, and we'll try to figure out what went wrong.
I anticipate a week or so before we can make the switch, so please keep it in mind.
Thank you!
