Hi Brian,

My name is Remi F6CNB and I am in charge of developing the HAMNET network in France BUT I am not the IP address coordinator.

The subnets are distributed by the coordinator outside the portail. I am using the hamnetdb.net to keep track of them. There are more than 50 sites currently active on the network. The network is growing fast in the Paris area with a lot of high speed backbones (typically 10 to 70Mbps). A lot of additional isolated subnets are existing in France including the very remote La Reunion island. They all are connected to the Paris area network thru gre tunnels.

The main usages of the network are: VOIP, DMR/STAR repeater links, DATV repeater, Webcam, APRS ......

I got a script from our german hamnet friends to automatically update by email the main 44.0.0.0 DNS server from hamnetdb.net. I need to adapt it to handle the 44.168.0.0/16 network. Could you send me a description of the current way to update the DNS server by email and give me the privilege to do it?

We also have a lot of issues with the current portail like I cannot assign 44.168.0.0/16 to my main ipip gateway (200Mbps connection both way) or the DNS registration not working. That is probably the main reason of poor DNS update.
