Yeah, I think it'd be good to do this tomorrow. I can setup Paine-S2 to run BGP to you, configure your modem to reciprocate, setup IPsec(AH), get your static (/32?) routing via your modem and you can distribute it internally however you like. I can also add a DNS entry for that IP as you require. Gotta flip some SQL triggers to SQL stored procs, which I've been meaning to do for weeks now. --Bart On 3/21/2014 11:09 PM, Tom Hayward wrote:

Now that I have an IP address (albeit DHCP) on HamWAN, how do I assign an ampr.org DNS hostname to it, and (if feasible) a reverse IP DNS entry? Do I:

This is a really good question. DNS is an essential service for a network. It makes higher-level services much more useful (who want's to memorize IP addresses? Okay... other than me!). HamWAN plans to let you create *.hamwan.net hostnames. At the moment, the DNS servers are running (redundant, at multiple sites), but there's no user interface for people like you to add entries. Only a few records have been manually entered.
For reverse DNS, Brian Kantor needs to configure the AMPR DNS servers to delegate HamWAN's subnet to HamWAN's DNS servers. He hasn't figured out a way to integrate this into his DNS system yet.
Okay, finally an answer to your question: *.ampr.org hostnames must be assigned via AMPR's email robot. Your email address will need to be in the whitelist for this to work. I think this boils down to asking John Hays to add the record for you.
It's probably best to work with Bart to get a static IP address(es) first. In a previous email, I think he asked you if you'd like to experiment with static address assignment. I suspect this will involve BGP, so your subnet will roam with you to whatever HamWAN node you connect to.
