Hi, This is in response to the request from the local-ir working group to investigate the possibility if the hostcount tools can be used to list problems in the in-addr domain. I hacked the hostcount tools to produce the same type of errorlist as made available each month as part of the hostcount results. I made sample results available; I don't think this is very usable. For the sample data and an evaluation, please refer to ftp.ripe.net:ripe/local-ir/inaddrcount. As a (IMHO) better proposal, I also made available the scripts I use to keep an eye on things; these can be found at ftp.ripe.net:ripe/local-ir/zonecheck, including sample output. I leave it up to the local-ir WG meeting in Rome to decide if the action-point is completed, or what should be done next. C u in Rome, Geert Jan
Geert Jan many thanks for the good work on the reverse domain and its nameservers. The results should be of interest to all local registries as the recipients of allocated address space. We can all benefit from your scripts to check our local blocks of IP space. At the same time, I think there might be some advantages in collecting and publishing the counts and the error files in a single place. For one thing, this will enable peer pressure to try to keep the error files as small as possible. As you say, we can talk about this in Rome; with the work you've done, our discussions will be better informed. Cheers. Mike
