Web Hosting problem

[Jon Thiele]

Hey John, 

You should ask the admins at Nouvelocity what clock date their servers are
using.  When I went to your page, it tells me it Monday, 17 January...

  There has been a thread about similar problems with other websites for
Rogers clients on the digitalhome.ca forum.  The problem seems to be...

* IANA has allocated the 99.0.0.0/8 IP address block to ARIN as of
  October 2006

* ARIN has recently allocated Rogers some address space in that block

* As a defensive measure against spammers and assorted bad guys who
  temporarily set up in "unallocated address space", many ISPs have
  started blocking "bogon" address space, including "IANA reserved"
  IP address space.

  This is *NOT* Rogers' fault.  Either Nouvelocity, or someone upstream
of them has an out-of-date "bogon address list", and is blocking all
traffic from 99.0.0.0/8.  Ask Nouvelocity to check if they, or any of
their upstreams is blocking that address space, and to please stop
blocking it.

Q. Mr. Ghandi, what do you think of Microsoft security?
A. I think it would be a good idea.
