  • Vanity Mode

    From Ray Quinn@1:2320/100 to All on Wed Aug 2 21:35:05 2017
    I believe I have finally enabled "vanity" mode at US 99 BBS. I have added two subdomains to QUINNNET.ORG. fido6.quinnnet.org and binkd6.quinnnet.org. (Note the three (3) N's. These are for the IPv6 address of:

    2002:6831:c81::f1do:1:214:22

    All network tests (ping, traceroute, and port check) show this to be valid.

    binkd6.quinnnet.org and fido6.quinnnet.org do indeed resolve to the address above. And a binkp server answers.

    But there is no IPv4 address associated with it and the nodelist shows bbs.quinnnet.org which resolves to 2001:470:c:f13::2

    So I can't update the list yet.


    Cheers, Michiel

    There is now.

    bbs.quinnnet.org has address 104.49.12.129
    bbs.quinnnet.org has IPv6 address 2002:6831:c81:0:f1d0:1:214:22

    Inded there is. You have earned your IPv6 vanity address flag. I have updated the list.
