[at-l] Still looking for someone with a network... (admin)

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

If no one has come forward, I have an idea that might work.

I don't have the facilities and am not able to fund a co-location by myself.
However, I would be willing to go shares with some of the other list
members, if we can find a location at a rate that we can afford.

My local ISP has co-location rates (currently unpublished) starting at
$110/month, which includes power and up to 384k worth of bandwidth.  A 19"
rack-mountable chassis is required and must be less than 4U (7 inches) high.

Ryan, would something like this work for you?

Any others know of a better deal?

Any others willing to pitch in?

Hi All,

I'm still looking for someone who could provide connectivity to my
backup dns and mail server.   This machine only uses bandwidth if my
connection goes down.   Basically, I'm asking for:

- A 10 or 100 meg ethernet port
- A single static IP, not behind a firewall (or behind a firewall with
SSH, SMTP, tcp/udp 53-DNS and outbound wide open).
- AC power for a small Sun server.  I can provide a UPS if power is
unreliable.
- Relatively stable location (i.e. at a solid job, unlike mine :-), or
at someone's home 24x7 static connection)
- Minimum of 128kbps symmetric bandwidth available.
- Not on a network using Charter Communications or Time Warner Telecom
for primary transit.

This would really help out the lists, as I've had to move both my
primary and backup DNS/MX to the same location.   This will require no
local work on your part, as these servers are extremely reliable and
have uptimes exceeding one year.  Worst case, in the event of  a
hardware failure I would simply send out new equipment.


Thanks for any help,

Ryan
