I just made some requests via the AMPRNet portal to create some DNS records in the
ampr.org domain, and the requests were rejected with the following remark:
"DNS is not active yet, please subscribe to the 44-Net mailing list to keep advised
of progress."
I presume they are referring to this mail list.
So, how do I get DNS records created in the ampr.org domain? I understand that in the
past, there was an email robot, but I have been unable to find any details on how to use
it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,
Matt VK2RQ

There is an old email robot that is available to your regional
address coordinator, or you may send your requests to me.
We hope to have the DNS portion of the portal available in
some weeks but there is a question of how to transition from
the old robot to the new portal DNS that has yet to be settled.
The changeover may require everyone to re-enter their DNS
entries at the portal unless we can come up with a better
way of doing it. The problem is that the existing DNS records
are filled with obsolete and incorrect entries so we can't
simply grandfather all the old records into the new system.
In the meantime you can send me an email with what you need
updated in the DNS and I'll take care of it.

The existing DNS records (those that are in the DNS servers, that is) also
contain lots of good entries.
So, why not preload the portal with whatever is currently in the ampr.org
and 44.in-addr.arpa zone files? The worst you'd get is what you have now,
so you'd be no worse off.
To gradually remove old records, you could add a "renewal" date field so
that everyone has to reaffirm that each record is valid every, say, 3 years
(what our local repeater coordinator requires). Renewal could be as simple
as logging into your account, navigating to the DNS page, placing a check
mark next to each record that is valid, and pressing "confirm" or whatever,
which would reset the clock for that record for another 3 years. If you're
anxious to purge existing errors, you could even make the first time-out be
something shorter, like 6 months.

You could start by purging all addresses which have no gateway allowing them
to be reached...
At least for YO that will remove at least 50%

A cleanup of the ampr.org zone would be very nice. Are there any offical
rules how the records should look like (e.g. each A-record needs to
include [*.]<callsign>.ampr.org) in future? Of course we should keep the
experimental character of amateur radio in mind... Currently we have
some nice and useful "exceptions" in the zone file.

No, I don't think there's a need for an official rule that the callsign
must be in the hostname, but I do think it's a very good idea to do just
that. Perhaps a strong recommendation?

I hope that the dns email robot still remains because it is a very handy
convenient way if you are near a server system without X-windows
or if you have to make several entries at once.
It just works quicker and I have a record of it.

Yes it still works, I've been using it a lot to clean up 44.135.X.X Canada
