Re: [44net] DNS cleanup

Gentlemans (and maybe also Ladies) I dont see any big problem in adding latter the "missing" records in case they have gone I lost with this procedure 103 records that "might" be needed to be add again as soon as i will get back the network i used to have and start to operate back the gateway for them There is a backup of the old Zone files , i have a backup of my records (Brian with his kindness sent me a copy of my country records) the only problem i fear is that i will not be able to update the DNS via the portal (permission privileges etc) a thing i can do now with the DNS robot 73;s Ronen - 4Z4ZQ http://www.ronen.org ________________________________________ From: 44Net <44net-bounces+ronenp=hotmail.com(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu> on behalf of Richard Chycoski <ve7cvs(a)chycoski.com> Sent: Sunday, February 7, 2016 8:50 AM To: 44net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu Subject: Re: [44net] DNS cleanup (Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ On 2/7/16 8:11 AM, Brian Kantor wrote: This is like throwing out the baby with the bath water. If the data can't be shown to be good, it also can't be shown to be bad. (I deal with data quality issues as part of my professional life.) Requiring everyone to justify the existing data is not a practical solution, you are guaranteed to make a lot of people mad, and you will have a lot of cleanup work to do to get data reinstated - and most of it will happen soon after the deletions, so your workload will skyrocket. Instead of deleting anything that you can't identify, how about marking it as 'unknown', and making it easy for users to claim later? No, this doesn't get you instant cleanup. But with the help of the coordinators (who could be given virtual ownership of the ranges that they manage) it could get cleaned up over time, and any new entries would be assigned with owners (and even that data is going to become less trustworthy with age). It's not like we've run out of 44.x space, is it? - Richard, VE7CVS _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
