spamd.lon.bitfolk.com renumbered; old IP address will stop responding on Tuesday 18th October 2011

by Andy Smith

Hi, spamd.lon.bitfolk.com [212.13.194.5] has been renumbered to 85.119.80.248. If you're making use of our free spamd service then you may be referring to this host by IP address in your mail server (or similar) config. The old IP address will continue to respond until Tuesday 18th October 2011, at which point we will be taking it out of service. You should start using the new IP address now. If you have any questions, please reply to the list or to support(a)bitfolk.com. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting > The optimum programming team size is 1.

a.authns.bitfolk.com has been renumbered

by Andy Smith

Hello, If BitFolk does not provide authoritative DNS services for one or more of your domains then you can ignore this email. One of our authoritative nameservers, a.authns.bitfolk.com, has been renumbered from 212.13.194.70 to 85.119.80.222. Normally you would only refer to this nameserver by name, so most of you will not need to make any modifications to DNS zones or registrar settings. If you have for some reason created records in your zones that point at 212.13.194.70 then it's now time to change these. Many of you are probably restricting zone transfer by IP address. Zone transfers will continue to come from 212.13.194.70 until Monday 17th October 2011, at which point we will switch to sourcing them from 85.119.80.222. Please add 85.119.80.222 to your ACLs now, without removing 212.13.194.70. If you have any questions about this, please do reply to the list or to support(a)bitfolk.com. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting

NTP servers have been renumbered; old IPs will stop working on 11th October 2011

by Andy Smith

Hello, We are in the process of renumbering from our transit provider's IP space into our own IPv4 allocation (85.119.80.0/21). The first stage of this is to renumber all of our own infrastructure. You'll be seeing a few notifications like this over the coming weeks. Our NTP servers have been renumbered. By default, BitFolk VPSes use our NTP servers by host name. You should restart your NTP server now in order to pick up the new IPs. If you have ACLs that operate on IP addresses, you should change them to: 85.119.80.232 85.119.80.233 2001:ba8:1f1:f205::53 2001:ba8:1f1:f206::53 On 11th October 2011 the old NTP IP addresses will stop responding. Please hit reply or direct an email to support(a)bitfolk.com if you are unsure of what to do. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting

At risk warning for obstler.bitfolk.com

by Andy Smith

Hi folks, A disk has broken in obstler.bitfolk.com and I've just replaced it as of ~14:00Z. This means that the array is degraded and has no redundancy until the rebuild completes, which I would estimate at 6 hours. I don't anticipate any outage, but now would be a great time to ensure your backup regime is in order, if you have not already done so. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
