Italian Nameservers for 9.3.164.arpa. dead?
by Bernie Hoeneisen 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Hi! One again the nameservers for 9.3.164.arpa. are currently not reachable, at least not from AS 559. My SIP / ENUM users run into timeouts....:-( Anybody else diagnosing the same with the Italien ENUM nameservers? What is the solution space to prevent this unfortunate situation in future? cheers, Bernie

Name "ripe" in the e164.arpa zone
by Anand Buddhdev 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Dear Colleagues, A question has been raised on why the resource record "ripe.e164.arpa" exists in the e164.arpa zone. Our DNS provisioning tools, which read the information held in objects in the RIPE Database and generate the appropriate DNS zone files, create this extra name "ripe" in the zone for the benefit of the other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). The provisioning system generates zone files mainly for the in-addr.arpa zones, and some address ranges from one /8 allocation are actually allocated to other registries. So each registry generates "zonelets" that are transferred to the majority RIR of a particular /8. The tools that transfer these zonelets rely on this extra piece of information in the TXT record for consistency checks. Similarly, AfriNIC, ARIN and APNIC also generate zones for their /8 allocations with records named "afrinic", "arin" and "apnic". The e164.arpa zone does not really need this "ripe" record in it, since it is not shared among the registries in any way. However, because the e164.arpa zone is generated automatically from the RIPE Database by the same tools, it automatically receives this extra name. Currently, there is no way to stop the zone receiving this extra entry. But it has no negative effect on the zone or on ENUM operations. Regards, -- Anand Buddhdev DNS Services Manager RIPE NCC

Hmmm don't think I would define it as a bug as it is I believe intended behaviour. > I wonder what will happen if the ITU one day decides > that "ripe.e164.arpa" should be delegated to someone.... Don't think this would cause a problem would it, as this is only a TXT record I think it could quite happily co-exist with some NS records. I do take your point though Jim and I'm sure if the community members feel strongly enough the NCC would consider looking into how difficult it would be to remove this record from the e164.arpa zone Brett (Speaking as a NON NCC person)

Look for 'VRSN-END-OF-ZONE-MARKER-DUMMY-RECORD' in . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vrsn-end-of-zone-marker-dummy-record.root There is one in the .arpa zone as well: http://www.robert.net/ccTLD/ARPA/ (okay I agree, this domain name is a little bit longer than just 'ripe') -- Marco

Dear colleagues, the ENUM delegation request for 5.5.2.e164.arpa - +255 is Tanzania's E.164 CC - was confirmed by ITU-T TSB on 8 Jan 2008. As per the same day, 5.5.2.e164.arpa is delegated to nic.co.tz. [41.222.56.189] ns1.satwise.com. [83.170.73.2] 5.5.2.e164.arpa becomes the 45th ENUM delegation. Furthermore, Tanzania is the first African country that receives an ENUM delegation - by this, ENUM has become truly global: there are delegations in place for countries on all five continents now. Welcome, Tanzania ! :-) Best regards, Carsten Schiefner (RIPE ENUM WG Co-Chair)
