Hi, In a few days I'm going to be adding some additional monitoring hosts. If you are currently punching holes in your firewalls for 212.13.194.71 to do checks, please could you also allow: 212.13.194.73 212.13.194.87 212.13.194.207 Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting "Xandros's low-level support for the Eee mostly seemed to consist of a pile of shell scripts made of cheese and failure." -- Matthew Garrett

I wasn't, but are there any particular ports you're talking to, or should I just use 'allow all from...' kind of rules? Regards, Adam Sweet -- http://blog.adamsweet.org/

This is news to me too - doesn't appear to be in the support FAQ?

You only have monitoring if you've asked for it: http://bitfolk.com/customer_information.html#toc_2_Nagios_monitoring Some people like to have BitFolk's nagios monitor their stuff (e.g. ping, mysql), but have to open their firewall to let it check. They will need to allow these extra IPs too. Just email support(a)bitfolk.com if you want Nagios to monitor something. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting

Is there a safe range that covers the first three (just to minimise the list of rules)? -jmb -- D94D 9900 4675 0BA5 67AD ABFE EBFE 16CF 838E C5DA

I'm afraid not; infrastructure and customers are all scattered through the /23 and this is likely to remain the case until it gets widened to a /22 sometime in 2010. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting

I have just recently purchased a Feathercraft Big Kahuna kayak

does it have a heater?

Of course not. Everyone knows you can't have your kayak and heat it. -- James Fidell
