Routing Practice
Sep 6, 2007
Our colo has two carriers, call them A and B. I have discovered the colo provider is round-robining traffic out it's two carriers on a per-packet basis, not per flow.
Assume we want to reach destination IP a.b.c.d.
%> traceroute -q5 a.b.c.d
Results show that at the hop leaving the colo's border router, some packets transit Carrier A and some Carrier B, to the same destination IP, during the same traceroute.
Is this a routing Best Practice, or am I correct in thinking this is the Lazy Man's way of load balancing across multiple circuits, multiple carriers? BGP route selection does not seem to apply here (i.e., either Carrier A or Carrier B but not both at the same time).

Well I was quite surprised to see this but basically if you cancel a server at softlayer unless you go through after the fact and cancel all the associated orphans like ip ranges, vpn users, etc that was allocated to the servers you cancelled they will still bill you for this.
I have seen the notice on the cancellation process and I have always stated in cancellation ticket to cancel this server and all addons for it.
I find out today that I have been paying for at least 20 ip ranges, 15 vpn users and even a cpanel license for servers that I have cancelled months ago. How insane is that?
When a person cancels a server, they expect that server and all addons such as ip ranges, licenses and vpn users that was allocated to those servers to be cancelled as well. This seems not to be the case at softlayer and this is nothing more then an obvious way to bill clients for things that they are not even using or really cannot even use.
I guess that is what someone can expect from some wal-mart style network but I think this is simply an unethical practice. Most people would assume all items associated with a cancelled server would be cancelled with the server, that is what softlayer depends on .
IN the end I guess it is my fault for not reading "the fine print" but Im about sick of this fine print crap where hosts can outright decieve you and rip you off and then later point out some fine print validating their reasons.
Has anyone else had this issue at softlayer?

I am currently web hosting my own site (at home) through port 8000 using firewire. My activation is by invitation only. This means that I have to manually activate you before you can post on my board. I do this for security reasons and plus there is no need to invite the outside world. However, anyone on the outside world can view the site. The url is in the form of xyz.abc.uvw.rst:8000/forums/ where xyz.abc.uvw.rst is the IP address and 8000 of course is the port.
In order to make my site more secure, I have also changed the admin dir so that you can't just url to .../forums/admin/ and then start typing in passwords.
In addition, the version of my board is hidden and html is disabled.
I believe that I am secure but I would like to know other best web hosting practice methodologies that will allow me to be even more secure, particularly in the case where I am hosting on my own computer in my own home.

I have a ethics and legality scenario I would like to pose here. This is to be considered a fictional scenario and any similarity to any real company or person is unintentional.
COMPANY X has colo racks in DATACENTER and hosts a client named COMPANY Y. COMPANY Y also hosts 50 small web sites on cpanel and 40 VPS servers on their linux VPS node in exchange for a discount or other compensation. During the month of may and COMPANY Y's bill raises from being 3000 past due to over 12000 past due to various reasons including purchasing of hds from the DATACENTER using COMPANY X's account, tech work dont by DATACENTER for COMPANY Y needed also billed to COMPANY X's account, as well as BW and rack costs. Seeing this alrming bill by the end of May COMPANY X begins putting pressure on COMPANY Y to pay some invoices as no payments were received during the entire month of may and COMPANY X is also having a hard time paying DATACENTER due to not being paid by COMPANY Y but makes efforts to pay 25% of the outstanding bill in June.
Near the end of june COMPANY X has had enough and arrives at the datacetner to attempt to move theritr clients off COMPANY Ys hardware so they can suspend service of COMPANY Y completely. On the visit COMPANY X brings 2 new servers in and begins moving clients of their over and COMPANY X notices this action and begins to suspend and remove access to all of COMPANY X's clients. COMPANY X then decided to power off the boxes of COMPANY Y and removes drives containing COMPANY X customer data for offline recovery. and because they beleived the DATACENTER might be untrustworthy enough to release hardware fromt heir rakcs without their permission. The drives were for as much colatteral purposes as for recoverying customer data. They then pack the drives in boxes and a bag and leave the datacenter having spent nearly 20 hours working and head on a long trip home and signs out of the data center in front of various techs holding the server parts and tools.
Upon arriving back to their office/home
They were informed that the removal of the HDs was not allowed byt he datacenter because the account was past due and it was discovered that several drives with cOMPANY X's clients were left in the datacenter which COMPANY X now wishes they had remembered to get. DATACENTER is furious and demands the account be paid in full by a fixed time or the entire colo will be cut power. COMPANY X scrambles to find others to help them and another major client who has alot at risk decides to help and a payment of $7160 is made to DATACETNER but it came in a few minutes past the deadline. DATACETNER had suspended servuce, and cut power but stated they wil return service shortly. Shortly after this it is discovered that several servers belonging to COMANY X and two other companies who were supsended in the same day were not int he rack anymore. DATACENTER accout rep responds with the following message in ICQ/AIM .....

I'm looking for a method to basically clone my plesk site to another hosting provider also running plesk, the idea is so if my site A is down, I can just re-point the dns entry to Site B, and minimize downtime.
It makes sense to me to pay 2x hosting costs so I can have a site mirrored in case the main site goes offline, then I can just switch the dns to the new host. The trick is how can I automatically keep Site B mirrored as part of site A. Using Plesk Backup doesn't seem practical as it's not automatic. Does Cpanel have a site mirroring feature?
Would something like rsync work? Doesn't this require shell access? I'm looking for best practices to be able to mirror Site A to Site B in an automatic method..

Dedicated server has 2 HDD but I am not going to pay another $25/month for the hardware RAID solution (already stretched too far).
My plan is to install FreeBSD 6 and use Gmirror to establish a raid-1 "soft" mirror.
Advantages: Entire drive is mirrored including the OS. Drives can be remotely inserted or removed from the mirror set using a console command so its possible to uncouple the mirror and perform software updates on a single drive then re-establish the mirror only after the updates have proved successful.
Disadvantages: Lower I/O than hardware solution (not a problem for me) others???
I rarely see people consider software raid for a tight-budget server and I am wondering why? Could it be that other OS's dont have a solution as good as gmirror? Or is it just that crappy soft-raid in the past has left a bitter taste in admins mouths? Or perhaps admins need the extra I/O of hardware?

if there is any way to forward an external IP to an internal subnet without NAT.
I have a server that is configured with a 10.0.100.101 IP and the L3 switch doesn't support NAT, so I can't get on it right now without manually changing the IP on the NIC to a public IP address.

I have a linux router with 2 external and 2 internal ports.
Each port needs to route traffic to one of the internal ports, and the internal traffic between the 2 internal ports should not go out the external ports.
The IPS on the internal networks are global. ie. no NAT required.
I think what I need is this..
$ext_net1 = external nework IP/MASK 1
$EXT_IP1 = ip of external interface 1
$ext_net2 = external nework IP/MASK 2
$EXT_IP2 = ip of external interface 2
$int_net1 = internal network IP/MASK 1
$int_net2 = internal network IP/MASK 2
ip route add $ext_net1 dev eth0 src $EXT_IP1 table 1
ip route add default via $ext1_gw table 1
ip route add $int_net1 dev eth1
ip route add $ext_net2 dev eth2 src $EXT_IP2 table 2
ip route add default via $ext2_gw table 2
ip route add $int_net1 dev eth3
ip rule add from $int_net1 table 1
ip rule add from $int_net2 table 2

I have a Webmux load balancer and behind that a Cisco Pix. Behind that I have several servers. The Webmux and Cisco Pix do double NAT so his servers have public IPs.
The problem is that I've added a 4th server, I added it to the Webmux and it's get NATted to an 192.168.x.x IP. Now I just need to add it to the Cisco Pix, natting it back to the real IP BUT the Pix can only have one IP on its inside interface and the Server IP is not on the same subnet as that IP.
So when I try to add the real IP it asks me how to route it....

I'm trying to implement VLANs on my network and can't get connectivity to host servers. Here's how the network is configured. Pardon the bad ascii diagram.
In this example my upstream is providing two subnets:
111.111.111.16/28 (I'm using an IP from this subnet to manage the 3550)
222.222.222.16/29
I am attempting subdivide the /29 into two /30's in order to place a server into it's own /30 subnet & VLAN ............

I have a server that has multiple IPs, one of which I'm using for a VM that is bridged.
The issue is, internally, that IP is trying to point to itself rather then the bridged nic (which is technically a whole other server plugged into the same switch, logically).
I think I know why, I just don't know how to fix it. This is the config file for the ranges:
Quote:
# Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
DHCPCLASS=
HWADDR=....
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR_START=....243
IPADDR_END=....254
CLONENUM_START=0
GATEWAY=....241
NETMASK=255.255.255.240
NO_ALIASROUTING=yes
(edited a few things out just in case)
Basically, there's a start and an end, is there a way to exclude an IP?

to expand our existing DNS setup with nodes in North America and Asia.
Therefore, we are searching ISPs that can provide dedicated servers and route an existing (RIPE PI) IP range to that server which will be anycastet for DNS service?
What company would be able to provide that service?

I put together a router running Zebra(yes, I know, should have used Quagga) with a few public ip addresses taking in a full BGP table.
There is a Win2k3 server behind the router running routing and remote access for VPN clients to connect to. Our team's project was to get the win2k3 server VPN clients out onto the public internet with public IP addresses.
I installed another NIC card onto the Win2k3 server and connected it with the router, and assigned the router and the server a private IP address. Both are pingable from both devices.
I then had a VPN client connect in, RRAS assigned the client a public IP address, the router was able to ping the VPN client and so was the Win2k3 server.
I tried pinging the VPN client from another machine on the network with a default gateway pointed toward the router, and there is no response.
Is there something I don't know about with Zebra and Redhat?

I'm experiencing some odd issues, I have a cpanel setup, however on port 2086 the server is currently listening however on port 80 it fails to listen. Apache is running and no errors appear in the errors log.
Running ifconfig shows that there are errors and dropped packets.
I was changing ip routes earlier that day however all seems fine...
Oddly I can ping internally on the network and noticed a number of other servers in the broadcast range. These respond fine, however pinging google or outside the data center fails.
ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com

I have the following problem with a CentOS server:
The main IP of the server is yyy.zzz.www.qqq
We've just purchased 3 additional IPs: aaa.bbb.ccc.100, aaa.bbb.ccc.101, aaa.bbb.ccc.102.
First, all outgoing traffic used aaa.bbb.ccc.100, but after deleting the gateways from the additional IPs it seemed to work fine, until we found out the following:
Now all traffic to aaa.bbb.ccc.XXX uses aaa.bbb.ccc.100 as outgoing IP.
What command would change this to use our main IP?

I've been doing some traceroutes between Chicago and Dallas. Tracing from Chicago -> Dallas, I go through Denver almost 100% of the time. Tracing from Dallas -> Chicago, I go through Denver or Atlanta before routing to Chicago.
Is this normal? Looking at the Level 3 network map there seems to be several, much shorter routes.

I run a game server on The Planet, and lot of people have huge routing issues where their route randomly changes, and when it does, they'll get horrible packet loss and lag. It's totally random, one day it may happen to me, while it's not happening to someone else, then it will switch. But it's definately the host and not our home connections as it affects about half the server at any given time, it just picks different people.
Just wondering if anyone who uses The Planet has had issues like this? I pretty much debugged everything and tried everything to no avail and of course their support just said it's not at their end (all isps of any type say that regardless of the situation).
This is how a typical trace route would look like:

Actually if anyone is interested in looking this more I posted a thread here. But not needed. Just want to know if anyone else has had issues like this with The Planet. The only thing I can think of right now is switching hosts, but thats an expensive process as for the transition time I'll be paying for two hosts.

We have a weird CentOS routing problem:
We need traffic to a certain subnet to go out via a second interface IP, rather than the main IP.
I.E, eth0 has IP x.x.x.x and eth0:1 has IP x.x.x.y (on the same subnet). I want traffic to z.z.z.z to go with a source of x.x.x.y rather than x.x.x.x like all the other traffic.
However I add the route and specifiy the device eth0:1 it accepts it but it goes into the routing table as eth0, whether I do it through network-scripts/route-eth0:1 or route add -host z.z.z.z gw a.b.c.d dev eth0:1.
When I ping with the -I command for eth0:1 it works, so the idea works fine, I just don't want to have to specify the interface in the application, but to do it within the routing table.
This is on CentOS 5 under Xen but I've tested on CentOS 4 under Virtuozzo too and it's the same.

I have an exchange server with the webmin interface activated. I have port 80 forwarded on the router to this server for the webmin. Management wants to upgrade data service and move website server in-house.
So this is how I'll need to set up 2 websites on two servers for the same IP.
Server 1: Windows. accepts domain mail.domain.com
Server 2: Linux. accepts www.domain.com
I'm figuring I'll need to make changes at the router level, and I have a decent cisco router. What do I need to do? Point me in the right direction for googling.
Would it be easier to use 2 IPs? Both would come over the same line, how would I handle that on the router level?

we're making a major move to offer some new services, etc, so we're going to have a couple racks in a datacenter, and will be running our own network. Currently I've purchased a 2821 router and a 3750G-24-T-S switch. I've got an ethernet drop from Cogent and we're set up for static routing.
I'm waiting on pricing from Sprint, Verizon and Level3 for a second ethernet line, and I'd like to multihome between them. It's been a while since I've done much cisco configuration, so I'm a little rusty. I know I'll have to run BGP between my routers and the provider, and IBGP between the two routers.
I'm looking for suggestions to run internally. We'll be offering standard shared hosting, a vps/cloud solution, dedicated servers and standard colocation.
Some people have suggested to run each of my different products on a separate VLAN, but I'm worried that would be wasting IP addresses, since one would be needed for the default gateway of each. For instance if give a /29 with my dedicated servers or my higher VPS plans, then it uses up 8 ip addresses, but the customer only gets 6. That seems right, unless I'm thinking about this incorrectly.
So as for my main question... If I did it that way, would I be ok to just run EIGRP on the 3750 to route between vlans, and then redistribute a default route from BGP into EIGRP?

I am going to collocate two servers in a datacenter and I wish to use my own IP addresses (as I’m member of the RIPE).
I wish to get a block for this, what is the minimum size of a PI block to make my collocation provider able to route them?
Is it /24 PI minimum, or is it also possible to just cut a /28 for this purpose?

I have spent the last few days setting up a low-end VPS server as a VPN host, using OpenVPN on CentOS 5.
I've got everything set up, but one last (and most critical) component is still not working correctly.
Basically what I need, is that once users are on the VPN, they should be able to browse the internet through the VPN under that server's IP address rather than their own dynamic address. I was told that this VPN set up was the way to do it. However, right now when I connect into my VPN I can browse that specific server, but cannot access any other websites at all.
If it would help to see my config files, please let me know and I'll post.
I'm really itching to have this up and running,

business is just getting out of hand. I applied several weeks ago for Whitelist status, and my issues finally went away for a little over a week (though I never received a response to my Postmaster requests). But then today -bam- 100% deferrals for going on 18 hours now, not a single message has gone through. And naturally no two Yahoo servers give me the same error message.
So...
At this point I'm ready to contract out my Outbound mail to Yahoo through a whitelisted 3rd party until I can get this resolved on my end. Would this be reasonable? Is anyone else doing this? I worked with an outsourced SMTP provider in another life for an internal company mailing list with good success.

Has anyone else noticed some weird Savvis routing in the NY/NJ area since their maintenance on Friday night?
I'm in NY and a trace to the NJ1 datacenter in Jersey City NJ shows:
Code:

Why are the packets going from NewYork to Washington to Weehawken and then to Jersey City? Also, what are those 4 unnamed nodes at 10,11, 13 and 14?
I'm also getting 200ms+ ping times and 13% loss to/from our offsite VPSs

The second trace shows that there is a path between New York and Weehawken without going through Washington, even though the first route went through Washington between NY and NJ. The only reason that I can think of is that someone in Washington wants to see the traffic (wink wink)?
I've contacted Savvis, but got the stock response "Savvis’ backbone routers forward traffic through the optimal logical path within our network. Although the physical path may seem odd occasionally, it is actually the optimal path."
