| 2 | |
| 3 | Requests for new IP blocks should go to either {{{support@he.net}}} for Telehouse IP blocks or {{{support@bandcon.com}}} for Bandcon IP blocks. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | * Add the block to the [wiki:ip_allocation IP Allocation page] |
| 6 | * Create a file for each IP address in /etc/dnscache/root/ip on either jacobo.mayfirst.org (for Bandcon) or marcos.mayfirst.org (for Telehouse). For example: |
| 7 | {{{ |
| 8 | cd /etc/dnscache/root/ip |
| 9 | for num in $(seq 130 158); do touch 64.145.66.$num; done |
| 10 | }}} |
| 11 | * Add IP addresses to our DNS servers (for reverse lookups). |
| 12 | * For Bandcon: Login to root@harry.mayfirst.org. Edit ~/bin/create-reverse-ip to modify the first two variables to reflect the IP range you are adding. |
| 13 | * For HE: edit viewsic.mayfirst.org:/etc/tinydns/root/special-records and then type make |
