New Feature: Secondary DNS Alerts

We’ve released a new alerting feature for Secondary DNS. The advanced option Email Alert on Disable will send a message to the alert email address configured for your account if a zone is automatically disabled due to a fatal error condition or the SOA EXPIRE is reached (stale zone).

Secondary DNS domains can become disabled under certain fatal error conditions (all of which are described in the help documentation). This new alerting feature defaults to off and can be enabled in the account control center on a per-zone basis.

New Level 3 FastE Circuit

We will be turning up a new FastE circuit to Level 3 on Friday, February 16, 2011 at 10:00 UTC-8. This circuit will provide additional multihomed IPv4 and IPv6 transit capacity to our facility. There will not be any operational impact.

UPDATE: The order was not correct on Level 3’s side, so we couldn’t turn the circuit up at this time. It will be rescheduled.

UPDATE 2: Rescheduled for Monday, March 5th at 14:00 UTC-8.

UPDATE3: The circuit was successfully activated.

Nevada/California Streaming Weather Radio

One of our “for fun” projects we recently completed was to add online streaming audio for the two NOAA Weather Radio stations we are able to receive. By utilizing a pair of handheld Midland weather radios tuned to stations WXK58 and WWG20 feeding to our web servers, we are able to offer these live streams on our website. Additionally, we are sending these audio feeds to Weather Underground. These stations also cover some of our nearby neighbors to the west in California.

You can find to these streams online at: http://rollernet.us/wxradio

Whether you’re a local listener or just curious, feel free to listen in.
