Roller NetworkWe’ve decided to re-enable forum registration and see what happens with regards to spam bots and other junk-type registrations. Forums accounts can now be created online, but we will still manually review and activate them before a new account can post.
The external status page at www.rollernetstatus.com is currently offline pending a move to a new home. We apologize for any inconvenience. In the meantime, status updates will be posted here directly.
UPDATE: the offsite status page is back. It now has AAAA records as well.
UPDATE2: Oops, the firewall on the host was blocking port 80. It’s been fixed.
We had one of our colo customers ask if we had NTP servers. Yes, we do! But we didn’t have them listed in the account control center, so we’ve corrected that oversight. Our NTP servers will answer on IPv4 and IPv6.
Due to registry price increases for .org (Public Interest Registry) and .biz (Neustar), our new price for these TLDs will be:
We’ve released a minor update to our Dynamic DNS client to support IPv6. We’ve been working on this on and off for the last few months but didn’t really put any kind of rush on it because we didn’t believe that there was any demand for such a service.
Today though a question about IPv6 enabled dynamic DNS services came up on the ipv6-ops list, so we went ahead and finished it up for public consumption. It’s still business as usual for everyone using it for IPv4 dynamic DNS, but now there’s an IPv6 option. See the documentation for details. We have not added an AAAA record to acc.rollernet.us, so while there is auto-detect code for IPv6 clients in our Dynamic DNS client, there’s no way to take advantage of it just yet.
If anyone actually uses it for its IPv6 support we’d be interested in your feedback.
