Ransom IT is proud to announce an expansion into Auckland, New Zealand. We are now offering the same competitive range of KVM VPS plans available in Australia from our Auckland POP on the Vibe Communications network (AS45177). Our equipment is housed in an Auckland CBD (Queen Street) datacentre...

FYI I got an update on the peering situation:

@Dan thanks; it's not planned. I don't think it's viable really with the cost of dedicated SL boxes...

Thanks for the heads up. I will add this information to my open ticket with them regarding peering/domestic connectivity and see what they can do about it. They are aware of these issues but more information helps. Cheers, Oliver

I have got the info needed from Nett and emailed the NOC so I expect this issue can be resolved. :-) The SL DC in Melbourne is pretty new; http://www.afr.com/p/technology/ibm_opens_data_centre_in_melbourne_8EJHXPvO6ftTZmDYfahSYP

Thank you!

@Nett Can you post traceroutes please? The Melbourne link looks OK but the Sydney one could surely be better. I will guess you are with Telstra or one of the big4 ISPs? Cheers :-)

I have a ticket open with SoftLayer about some routing issues. I expect they will join some more domestic peering networks soon then latency will improve. Their peering personnel are aware of the issues though so I am pretty confident it's being looked at (in fact routes from Melbourne to...

Hi VPS Boarder's :-) I have moved the Ransom IT Sydney services to a new upstream provider and established a presence with SoftLayer down in Melbourne. Plans have been simplified a bit as well with the same offerings available in Sydney and Adelaide for KVM services. Copied below is the...

LET email notifications have been broken basically 90% of the time the forum has been up in my experience. :p

I think I had some isolated issue unrelated to the actual upgrade. Sorry for the confusion. It occurred on 3 nodes of mine that had been running for a long time where I suspect some other issue just came up after the reboot and I mistakenly linked it to the kernel upgrade...

OK not sure if it's iptables related then. I must have some other issue... Will update again if it's relevant to others.

I don't know. My upstream provider recommended and configured them for me with a VPN server. Connect in then am on a 10.x network with my IPMI/DRAC interfaces as well... :-)

Can some other host who has applied the new kernel and rebooted successfully advise if their iptables rules are all gone or changed in any way?

One other host and I have found an issue where iptables rules are probably changed after rebooting into the new kernel. As a result if you have SSHD running and iptables with default policy DROP even if you have a rule allowing SSH in on whatever port you won't have this rule after reboot. The...

Cisco 2811 are fine. You can get them on eBay with 16 port switch modules built in pretty cheap.

Thanks. That's the kind of post update people here want to see I think. :-) I will be in touch soon I think.

Yeah that's basically it, they'd get 2x /22 from APNIC at the most then be forced into the secondary market (which by the way is alive and well). If you are investing the kind of money required to setup a datacentre in APNIC region though then another $100,000 for a decent chunk of IP space is...

The APNIC resource forms for additional resources just became available again so I have just put my request through for additional IP resources. :-)

Also interested in this. :-)
