I have hacked together a perl script to verify the DNS integrity of some
of the sbc DSL IP address ranges (and I DO mean 'hacked' so don't even ask
me for the code--it's sufficiently obfuscated). I noticed that the range
that I typically use (63.201.90.0/~22) appears to be okay. So, can the
folks who are having problems send me (privately) their IP addresses that
they had at the time of their problem (and also note the time itself), I
can do some more checking and perhaps generate a list to send to SBC.
thanks,
michael
