Hi,
I've just noticed that nodes 29.600-699 had been allocated to someone and they've
since disappeared from the HECnet node database... or possibly I imagined the whole
thing... except for the fact that I had an inbound multinet circuit for nodes in that
range. I've just removed the circuit and the firewall ACL for incoming on TCP port
9604. The circuit hadn't been used in some time.
In no other particular order of peers:
29.400-403 (Ales Petan) has been gone a while.
29.450-469 (Trevor Warwick) similarly.
46.1-9 (Douglas Hall) has been gone for quite a long time.
52.* (Brian Hechinger) has been down for a few weeks... and has changed incoming IP
address once or twice too.
I'm not complaining, just wondering. Known areas are going dark at a rate greater than
0 too.
Oh, and ANKE (1.1023) went >BANG< a few days ago.
Regards
Keith

29.600 - 699 have never been defined on my side. But, that said, there
is nothing preventing that it might have been defined locally by you in
the past, and then that got lost when copying over a new version from my db.

Not heard anything from any of them in a while, and no idea what they
might be up to. But then again, most people/machines on HECnet are
usually not up.

Brian is definitely still active in general. Maybe some internet issues
with his ISP?

At the moment, it's a bit on the lower side, but as noted above,
majority of nodes and areas are usually not online. It would indeed be
fun with more activity, but every user has his own priorities and
constraints. So I'm just happy to see that we are operational, and there
is some activity.

Yeah. I know. :-(
Waiting for Peter to restore my access to the host of that, so I can
kick it. I suspect I managed to trigger some kind of bug in PyDECnet
when talking NICE to it...
