DNS Problem
by Willi Huber 11 Sep '95

11 Sep '95

Dear all, there seems to be a DNS problem regarding the root name servers. We (that means the ch top-level DNS server) has picked up several times now a false A record for E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. The address picked up is binary zero. A restart only helps for a short time. Other top-level DNS servers contain the false entry as well. Regards, Willi Huber SWITCH scsnms WH[56]> dig . ns ; <<>> DiG 2.0 <<>> . ns ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 6 ;; flags: qr rd ra; Ques: 1, Ans: 9, Auth: 9, Addit: 12 ;; QUESTIONS: ;; ., type = NS, class = IN ;; ANSWERS: . 517541 NS E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. ;; AUTHORITY RECORDS: . 517541 NS E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 517541 NS D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. ;; ADDITIONAL RECORDS: E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 516170 A 192.203.230.10 E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 209885 A I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 517979 A 192.36.148.17 F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 515737 A 39.13.229.241 F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 162707 A 192.5.5.241 G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 515737 A 192.112.36.4 G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 81336 A 192.192.4.56 A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 516170 A 198.41.0.4 H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 516170 A 128.63.2.53 B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 516170 A 128.9.0.107 C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 515737 A 192.33.4.12 D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 557160 A 128.8.10.90 ;; FROM: scsnms to SERVER: default -- 127.0.0.1 ;; WHEN: Mon Sep 11 11:31:53 1995 ;; MSG SIZE sent: 17 rcvd: 473

One shows the bus and tram stops around the meeting site and the other is a more general map of the area. Both maps are available by ftp: ftp.ripe.net:ripe/Next-Meeting/area-map.ps ftp.ripe.net:ripe/Next-Meeting/area-map.ps.Z ftp.ripe.net:ripe/Next-Meeting/local-transport-map.ps ftp.ripe.net:ripe/Next-Meeting/local-transport-map.ps.Z a) Recommended public transport route from Amsterdam Schipol airport: <> Take the train from the airport railway station to the Central Railway station (Amsterdam CS). Then from Amsterdam Central Station : <> Take tram number 9 till the stop at the intersection of Middenweg and Kruislaan (15 min ride). The stop is just before the intersection. <> Walk down the Kruislaan in the direction of the railway bridge. Cross under the bridge and continue. Take the 2nd entrance left and follow the signs to the meeting (15 min walk all together). Instead of walking down Kruislaan you can take the shuttlebus for 2 stops. Turn into Kruislaan and the bustop is a little way down on the right hand side of the road. or from Central Station you can: <> Take bus 22 in the direction 'Indische Buurt' to the stop at the 'Muiderpoort Station' and take shuttlebus 66 which stops outside CWI. b) Alternatively from Amsterdam Schipol: <> Take the train from the airport railway station to the RAI station in Amsterdam. (These are the 'stop trains' to Lelystad, Utrecht or Amersfoort.) NOTE: Amsterdam Central Station (CS) is on another line. Then from the RAI station: <> From the RAI station take the city bus number 69 or CN bus number 169 in the direction `Amstel Station'. From the Amstel Railway Station <> From the Amstel station take the city bus number 15 the direction `Muiderpoort Station' to the stop on the corner of Kruislaan and Linnaeusparkweg (15 min ride, ask the driver where to get off) or proceed to 'Muiderpoort Station' and take shuttlebus 66. You can also take the shuttlebus 66 from the Kruislaan and Linnaeusparkweg intersection as described above. d) Taxi from the airport <> Takes 15 mins and will cost approximately Hfl. 60.00 e) Connections away <> Tram 6, 10 to Leidseplein (now with conductor on tram) Tram 9, 14 to Rembrandtplein and Dam Square (9 goes to Central Station) ==================================================================== Public Transport - how much does it cost and where can I get tickets? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tickets of 15 strips (`Strippenkaart' costing Hfl. 10.75) can be bought in Post Offices, railway stations and cigarette shops. Tickets of 2 and 3 strips can be bought on the bus or the tram but they are much more expensive. You have to validate the ticket yourself in the metro stations and in the trams (except on lines 4, 6, 7, 10, 12 and 13). In the buses the driver will validate the ticket. Amsterdam is divided into zones: the old city is in zone `Centrum' whereas CWI is in zone `Oost'. You need to count how many zones you will be travelling through (from the centre - CWI is 2 zones) and count up that number of strips on your ticket + 1 extra. So in the above example you will need to stamp the 3rd strip. In case of overflow you stamp the last strip of the first ticket and start counting the remaining strips on the next ticket. Confused? Ask any member of the local organizing committee. Warning: BEWARE of pickpockets in crowded places. --------------------------
