Re: Offer for participation (from Switzerland)

Dear aroot participants,

192.83.230.0/24 is now being announced from AS4128 behind our own
AS559.  It should take a few days for the routes to propagate into the
global Internet, as filters get updated by our upstreams (AS3303,
AS701 and AS8933) and peers.

I have added AS4128 to our AS-macro "AS-SWITCH".  I still expect
problems with some of our peers' automatic filter update procedures
because (1.) there's no "route:" object for 192.83.230.0/24 visible at
the RIPE server (although it does contain an "inetnum" entry), and
(2.) the AS4128 entry doesn't mention that it announces anything.  The
latter is probably not too bad since I doubt anybody will check that.

Randy: could you please add AXFR permission for 192.65.185.100 for the
PSG.COM zone so that I can set up the slave? The real-internet.org
slave is configured and works fine.

Regards,
