Does that mean that you submitted it via the
portal.ampr.org DNS
function? I'm sorry, that function isn't working yet. I've asked
for it to be taken off the portal menu until it*is* working as it
confuses people.
It also needs to be discussed what functionality is required here
for both the users
and the coordinator. Sometimes I get requests for approval, and I just looked
in the
portal.ampr.org again, but it does not really cover the requirements.
What we need is a request from a user to get one or more addresses allocated,
accompanied by information like region where they live. The coordinator then must
be able to look into the already assigned list of addresses and find an available
address in the correct region (subnet), assign it, and return the address to
the requester.
As it is now, I get requests for 44.137.0.0/16 which makes little sense. Until
now I have a hosts file and I make the assignment by browsing through it in
the editor, and copy/pasting a line. Then I send the corresponding update to
the ampraddr robot. How can we do this in the portal when we abandon the hosts files?
