New service - help needed
We are preparing to put our new service online this weekend and I need your help.
Please paste result of nslookup for following hostnames
erik.gbshouse.net
leif.gbshouse.net
together with your location (country code, for US please provide the state name).
Thanks

I know few online tools but since we are using anycasting and latency based routing I need more granular results.
resolves for me to us1/us2 of you, one somewhere in the US the other in our US location.
I'm in Maribor, Slovenia

Is dat some geoDNS?
Always liked those setups, damn ISP's that cache!

Anycast, seriously? Then why would you need people to do nslookup's?
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
@klikli - we use anycast for our gbshouse.net domain and latency base routing for erik and leif
@Francisco - yes, we are lunching new DNS service which will include GeoDNS I hope that this will be the first service with low end prices
you sure? Anycast wouldn't be giving different ip's <_<
Francisco
@Francisco - as I said we are using anycast for gbshouse.net itself and latency based routing for entries inside it
oh, pfft, that's a sneaky way of doing it :P
It isn't you doing the anycast, thinking it was
Francisco
@Francisco - we are trying to have as low TCO as possible so we decided to use this combination. We can use anycast on customer service level but it will triple the price for customer. Anyway in our opinion it's a good solution especially that we use some AI solutions to detect nodes failures and reconfigure network on-the-fly in the background.
Oh I know i'm not ripping on the idea, I just saw it and went 'Ooooh OK thats whats going on'
Don't stress it, I was figuring you actually started sending boxes all over and announcing IP space for the project Your way is a lot more cost effective.
I'm guessing you still need to wrap up a pretty slick panel/WHMCS module to control all the API calls?
Fran
@Francisco - we have created our own control panel, beside that we will provide API for 3rd party integration. From the nodes points of view we are using modified version of PowerDNS. Since we are mostly ISV it's easy for us. I hope we will start public beta next week, of course everyone from LET is invited

So your whole anycast setup is over Amazon? Didn't the plan to get your own PI block work out for you?
The problem is that for DNS you need two ips from two different C classes. Getting two PI and setting anycast (with all RIPE/ARIN shit) doesn't make sense. We are waiting for one of our partners to upgrade their environment and then probably we will move to our own anycast. Beside that since Amazon is offering 100% SLA it gives us strong backbone.
Yes, RIPE would probably not agree to give you two separate /24s. But getting one would still be better - i.e. keep one DNS on Amazon anycast and another one on your own anycast.
And about obtaining PI address space - you can also research the possibility to buy some small dead company that already has a PI assignment and is not using it
Doesn't work anymore, needs to be returned (Company details can't be changed anymore)
@William I am sure there is a way around this - i.e. buy the company and don't close it, instead of this keep it alive. No need to change the details then (except for the Admin/Tech contacts).
I'm not planning to buy any company, especially US based.

Rage for what?
@raindog308 - long story short - my ex business partner was not familiar with english beside that I like it - rage for what? Rage for ".com"
@gbshouse, sounds interesting. You will be announcing the service on LET I suppose?
