@Basil I must have missed the announcement. He's selling VMs? What for how much?

@ChrisS He runs a business for hosting

I knew he did game hosting, Minecraft and maybe something else....
Didn't know about VMs. What kind?

All sorts!

Sorry, meant what kind of virtualization tech. KVM, LXC, Xen, ESXi, Hyper-V, BSD Jails, Zones.....

@ChrisS Oh, I wonder.
No clue...
Good question

I could use a cheap Xen or KVM host; maybe 128MB/10GB/fraction of a cpu; to act as secondary DNS and e-mail. The two requirements that have killed off every potential match so far: IPv6 (native), 99.9% historical, and I have to be able to install FreeBSD on it (or upload an image, etc).

Well, I'm certainly not ipv6

What's wrong with the free tier on AWS?
Oh, I guess they might not have IPv6, but you could always work with a tunnel

Hello Everyone
I have a question on linux bridging
is anyone here familiar with it?
Roy

On my frankfurt vps.net server, the IPv6 tunnel only adds about 1 ms latency

I am afraid my question is too simple and so I thought of asking the networking gurus here

This really isn't a live support room, @Bruce We really prefer that you ask on the appropriate site

Q: Simple bridge set up on Linux

BruceI have a Linux machine with one NIC. I want to forward all packets received by the NIC (may have different MAC address than the NIC) to be forwarded out of the NIC. Basically I want the NIC to act like a reflector which reflects all packets it receives. How can I do this?

@Bruce You want a repeater bridge on a single interface?
Bruce
Bruce
Yes. How can I do that?
Roy
Roy
Perhaps you could try using aliased interfaces, but I've no idea if it will work. Why on earth would you want to do that? :P
Bruce

@Roy: Its a long story and it will digress from the question. Thanks for taking a look at it.

@ChrisS Keep an eye on lowendbox.com or look through their archives. Plenty of good deals with native IPv6.

@Bruce sounds like you want to do port mirroring (quite common feature on switches). Why not just use a switch and a dedicated NIC for the mirror traffic?

@MDMarra yes?

So, for future reference, you can see where a bit.ly link goes by adding a + to the end of the URL. They even helpfully provide stats on how far and wide the spammer has gotten with it.

Q: DHCP and ip assignment with VoiP

LogmanWe just added a Cisco SPA122 ATA with Router to our network, it will be used for our paging system (an amplifier/speakers). We are having a hard time getting it work. Well until we found out the ip that the Cisco SPA was using was also using the same ip as one of our servers. Now, is this someth...

England doesn't have earthquakes, does it?

@MichaelHampton Not really
List of earthquakes in the British Isles
The following is a list of notable earthquakes that have been detected in the British Isles. On average several hundred earthquakes are detected by the British Geological Survey each year, but almost all are far too faint to be felt by humans. Those that are felt generally cause very little damage. Nonetheless, earthquakes have on occasion resulted in considerable damage, most notably in 1580 and 1884; Musson (2003) reports that there have been ten documented fatalities – six caused by falling masonry and four by building collapse. Earthquakes For earthquakes prior to the modern era,...
(that page actually bothers to list earthquakes under 3.0, which in California would fail the notability requirements and only show up in data feeds earthquake nerds use)

Q: Is there anything I can do with a software RAID 1 on linux to workaround temporary 'bad' sectors?

Luke ForemanBasically I have two identical hard disks that are in perfect working order, they just don't have the vibration tolerance they need for the environment they are in. (I am making an educated guess that this is the cause). The disks are in RAID 1 configuration via md raid/linux software raid. The R...

Uh oh... client accidentally cancelled their webhost/DNS hosting account.

@ewwhite How do you accidentally cancel an account?
Mark Henderson

@MichaelHampton Dunno but we had a client who didn't pay their registrar bill, lost their domain, didn't notice for 6 weeks (!!!), called me about it, someone else had squatted it, and they weren't going to pay to get it back (perhaps understandably)
In other news, anyone know what program this is?
