Hi all,

Frank here, just subscribed.
operating Tanzania Internet Exchange - TIX (IXP), I installed an AS112
in April 2006 on the IXP server. It's in the list on the AS112 website.
 ( http://tix.or.tz/ )

Advertisements go with community NO_EXPORT to IXP peers. Coverage should
be Dar es Salaam and one (incumbent) national network in TZ.

Traffic was 2-10kbps. Right now the machine is down, but working on it.
Will likely also put AS112 at other IXPs.

Regarding IETF drafts:
(outside the AS112...) I seem to run a resolver already implementing the
local zones.
21-Aug-2007 10:44:29.583 general: automatic empty zone: \
   254.169.IN-ADDR.ARPA
etc

Would an effort to include those in AS112 be counter-productive to the
-local-zones effort?
quantity depends on on progress regarding local-zones in resolver
software and their relative deployment, I assume. And will never reach
100% - so there's a good point in including them in AS112.


Is  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-as112-ops-00
the latest version?

   zone "10.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "db,empty"; };
   zone "16.172.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "db.empty"; };
   zone "17.172.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "db.empty"; };
should be "db.empty" instead of "db,empty" in the first quoted line, I
guess.
I also don't understand the need for

    neighbor 198.32.149.[12] ebgp-multihop

in the example of bgpd.conf  -- seems (from router-id) that the AS112
box is on same LAN and subnet as those AS 2884 routers. Or did I miss
something?

Please enlighten me if I'm missing something.

Regards,
Frank
