- Subject: master hosts lists
-
- I just spent a little over an hour cleaning up the ampr.org database, by
- eliminating garbage records, duplicate cnames, extra domains, hosts named
- "fred", etc.
-
- It will be processed tonight and the revised ampr.org domain.txt and hosts
- tables should be available tomorrow.
-
- Again, to update the master list, send e-mail to ampraddr@ucsd.edu
-
- with entries such as:
-
- 44.8.0.1 wb6cyt
-
- or
-
- wb6cyt in a 44.8.0.1
- wb6cyt in mx 10 wb6cyt
- wb6cyt in mx 20 cyberpunk.ucsd.edu.
- pc.wb6cyt in a 44.8.0.101
-
- to delete an entry, use
-
- wb6cyt in a delete
-
- You'll get a confirmation mailed back to you. Upper/lower case is
- not significant. Either tabs or spaces may be used as whitespace.
-
- Please note that there can be subdomains under callsigns, but not the other
- way around - i.e., bbs.wb6cyt is legitimate, but not wb6cyt.bbs .
-
- Also, all host names are assumed to reside in the ampr.org domain unless
- you put a period at the end of the hostname, so as you see in the MX entries
- above, it's proper to have a dot at the end of the cyberpunk hostname
- (because its domain is fully specified) but no dot should occur at the
- end of the ampr.org hostnames.
-
- There were a few MX records that specified user@host.dom.ain, which is
- not allowed and doesn't work anyway. An MX should specify a host which
- will recognize and forward mail addressed to the ampr.org hostname. If
- you have an MX on some network that isn't AMPRNet, you should also have
- one on AMPRNET so that people on the radio can deliver to you. If
- your ampr.org host is only on the radio, you probably don't need an MX.
