[HECnet] ROOSTA routing problem

[Steve Davidson]

One script does it all.   I am reworking the script so that the host will
not have to reboot.   Should be ready later today.   The only issue left
is the email forwarder is down (CHIMPY::).   I am setting up this end to
become an email forwarder/Internet gateway.

Steve Davidson has a few scripts which will detect an IP address change,

reconfigure the link and reboot the system. Assuming the IP only changes

'once in a while' this is a fairly painless solution.

work).
Okay, well STAR69 has Multinet on it but as for tunnelling between
them
I ain't got a clue, chief, and again I can't guarantee 100% uptime
on the
link if it is opened.

So can you set up a multinet link to chrissie.homelinux.net (warning
IP
address may change ... though it doesn't do it very often and Steve
Davidson can let you know when it does) and let me know your IP
address
and I'll set up a multinet link here. That should do.

If it does down sometimes we'll just have to live with the
consequences ;-)

Chrissie

Someone had "magic" to deal with changing adresses?

Sure I can set up a link, and I'll suggest metric 5..

The VAXen with multinet is 192.108.200.211.
