To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
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.
