Survey on IPSEC VPN vs. managed MPLS
by Beat Eichenberger 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Dear SwiNOG members I'm currently finishing my <FH/Bachelor> degree on IT and economics and I'm therefore focusing on my bachelor thesis. I'm working in the telecommunications industries since more than 15 years now, and having the role as "Head of Telecommunication" in an international IT company. My thesis is about the acceptance of IP Sec VPN for Intranet transport connections. I'm following the assumption, that most international companies have already changed, or would be ready to change their classical leased line services, mostly MPLS based and managed by service providers, against self-managed IPSec Internet VPN. I already had some very interesting interviews with CTO's and IT Managers from many companies. They do believe that the internet and technology today is mature enough. But when I ask them about their opinion on that topic, they mostly refer to their network professionals, since they hold a key role on technical decision of such matter. My goal is to reach as many network engineers, heads of telecommunication, CTO's, etc. as possible. So pros like you and I responsible for planning, engineering and/or maintaining their company's intranet. Therefore I'm kindly asking you, if you could please participate on the following survey, if the description above applies to you: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MPLSvsIPSec I very much appreciate your help and contribution! It is planned to present the results and outcome on SwiNOG#25 in Bern. Many thanks for your feedback and support! Beat

Pro / Contra Backup MX?
by Benoit Panizzon 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Heya Swinog We have business customers with an own mailservers asking us to provide a backup MX for their mailserver. Usualy we deny such request, because such a backup MX would bounce all spam which cannot be relayed, and anyway, the sending server usualy queues the email usualy about the same amount of time a backup mx would queue it. So we see not advantage, but a big disatvantage. Now some of our customers complain that 'all other ISP' offers such services. So I wanted to know your opinions: - Why would business customers _need_ their ISP to operate a backup MX for them? - Why can you avoid the disatvantage to generate a shitload of bounces when operating ab backup MX? - Is it true, that most ISP offer this kind of service?

MS DNS creating invalid records rejected by Bind check-names?
by Benoit Panizzon 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hello World! We have a strange problem with a customer for which we provide secondary DNS services. He uses a Microsoft DNS Server. According to the RFC I found, the underscore character is only valid in SRV Records. In any other records, this is an invalid character. Our Customers ADS Server keeps autocreating one records like this: gc._msdcs.web.EXAMPLE.COM 1800 IN A 192.0.2.44 Bind refuses to accept zone transfers from his server and eventualy the zone expires on the secondary. Then the customer deletes the RR, the transfer is successfull, but shortly afterwards the mentioned A record with underscore is re-created by the ADS and the problem is back. Is this some kind of MS DNS bug, or have the DNS RFCs been updated recently to also allow underscores in other RR and some non bleading edge versions of bind still use the check from previous rfc?

Bluewin DNS does not resolve domainhost.ch
by Daniel Kradolfer 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Hi, anyone of the bluewin nameservers does resolve domainhost.ch. i didn't found any reason for this. Switch says that all settings are ok. Any other nameserver i tried resolves domainhost.ch correctly... Can someone of bluewin have a look at this issue? Our clients aren't really happy, that they can't resolve domainnames on our nameservers. -- Freundliche Grüsse */Daniel Kradolfer/* ml(a)smilesolutions.ch <mailto:ml@smilesolutions.ch>

BOFh - Richard from the Shadowserver Foundation in Berne
by Adrian Wiesmann 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hi there Richard, one of the directors of the Shadowserver Foundation, will be in Berne for a few days. Since that sounds like a great opportunity to meet Richard and to learn more about Shadowserver (and to have another beer), I am organising a "Beer on Friday, hellyes (BOFh)" in the evening of Friday the 31st of August in Berne If you are interested in joining the fun, please drop me a note. I will then try to find a place with enough space and let you know when and where you can find us. If you are quick I also still take suggestions on where you think we should head to. I know this is on short notice, but if there is enough interest, we could do some session(s) during Friday and then together head to the BOFh. For that we would need a room somewhere in the center of Berne. Richard could give a presentation introducing Shadowserver and we could then go from there with what they do, what you have that they need and what they offer in return. Just an idea... Looking forward to your feedback and comments. Cheers, Adrian
