I am okay with that.
When or is someone working on cleaning the DNS up next?
Someone mentioned the idea of sorting hosts that are theoretically
reachable via a tunnel. Then possibly purging ones that are not, or
at least further review of these.
I gave it a quick try before, as it seemed simple enough. Look at the encap.txt
file, look for hosts in each CIDR... (checking this file:
ftp://hamradio.ucsd.edu/pub/amprhosts.)
A quick google search yielded this nifty function that is the magic to
the whole thing

It's not quite working, maybe someone who knows more can fix it?
If no one else is working on this, and it would seem helpful, please
let me know, and I'll try and devote some time to it again.

I'm working on it.
In all likelyhood, we'll not be able to "grandfather" many of the current
entries, so we may be looking at a lot of re-entry of data. I hope not.
It's a question of matching database entries so that DNS entries are
"owned" by the people who will be responsible for maintaining them.
We also have to get the DNS portion of the portal set up and working.

New subject: gateways sunset
Having just volunteered as a coordinator for the state of Iowa (44.50.0.0/16).
I went through the amprhost file and:
- Pulled out all the IP address entries for the state.
- Manually pulled out the call signs from the host names.
- Modified a python script I found on github ( called qrz.py) to get as
many email addresses as I could from qrz.com,
- Used another python script to send a nicely formatted e-mail to each
user asking them to register their IP on the portal or tell me if they no
longer needed it. Stated in the e-mail that if I didn't hear from them in
90 days. I would reclaim their allocation.
- The plan is to send a reminder email at 60, 30, and 7 days.
I'm not sure what I will do with those call signs that don't have e-mails
associated with them (56 out of 175). Possibly send a post card ?
Of the 119 e-mails I sent, I've received 27 responses so far. 20 saying I
can reclaim their allocation, and 7 requests through the portal.
The previous volunteer did a wonderful job of dividing up the state into
regions, sub-regions, and cities, but assumed there would be only one
gateway per city. I'll have to understand the existing network topology
and see if I can fit them into new subnet boundaries.
