I think I’ve got DNS problems. I’m using zoneedit to hose my external records, but also have a caching authoritative server for the local network. The local network is private and IP addresses differ in some cases from the public DNS. The NAT gateway is also the backup DNS and points to the ISP DHCP assigned DNS. Here are some of the weirdnesses:
1. Outlook express GP faults and windows pings the wrong (public) IP address. ipconfig /flushdns resolves the problem.
2. IE pointed to Apache proxying to Tomcat 5.0.12 seems to lock up. The servlet is hitting mysql with some primitive connection code. When I put better exception handling in and reinitialize the pool on error I see a permission problem after an IO problem with mysql. I suspect DNS as mysql security is host/user/password based here.
3. Sometimes the backup mail server picks up the mail. I think this is a load average problem as I’ve got some heavy load cron based java jobs that run on the hour and the problem seems to happen on a regular basis.
4. I haven’t checked the serial nobers on the zone-edit records so perhaps I’m doing something really wrong here. I know I’m cheating with the private DNS, but there should be a good way to accomplish this. Perhaps I need to eliminate backup DNS to the outside world.

Apache 2.0.47 + PHP 4.3.3 is working for squirrelmail but the prefs files are lost. I guess I’ll have to figure out where the path is set.

Trying to get PHP 4.3.3 working with Apache 2. This looks pretty good: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php.
It looks like I just did a ./configure –enable-ssl for httpd last time. Added –enable-so this time.
The php configure looked like this:
./configure –enable-track-vars –enable-force-cgi-redirect –with-gettext –with-mysql.
Added the apxs directive and gor this:
./configure –enable-track-vars –enable-force-cgi-redirect –with-gettext –with-mysql –with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs.

Mahi-mahi is tasty with barbequeue sauce.

The fresh chain cuts well and straight. Now I need to figure out why the engine keeps cutting out!

There seems to be no orb listener port setting in the base response file.

My Amana fridge SS25 TE (P1194004WE) looks like it’s listed as a Maytag! http://www.partselect.com/ModelSearchResult.aspx?ModelID=35113&ModelNum=SS25TE&ManufactureID=1&Selected=AM24291&Position=0

Three peanuts walked down the street. One was a salted.

I finally ran that power line from the server closet to the switch in the garage and mounted a box and power socket on the wall. Then I moved the UPS to the server closet and plugged it in there resulting in a UPS driven outlet in the grage for the switch. I also mounted a box for the CAT 5 faceplate, ran the cables through the hole, punched them down to the jacks agan and mounted them back on the faceplate. It looks pretty nice. Now all I need is a small shelf for the switch.
