Uh...

Since there aren't exactly too many scandinavian (or even European) public
nameservers, here's a new Finnish server:

213.185.37.13 (Vantaa, FI)

I'm all for calling it ns2.fi.opennic.glue. I'm also running ns1.fi,
so contact info is the same.

Every now and then people ask here about the hardware/bandwidth
requirements for an public nameserver. Well, ns1.fi is used a lot (just
look at the list of nameservers and you'll see why...) - about a month ago
I downgraded the hardware from an P1/90MHz running Debian Potato to an IBM
RS/6k 320H running AIX 4.3.3 and Bind8. This baby is from 1991 or so, has
an multi-core 25MHz POWER CPU and a total of 32 megs of memory (that take
about as much room as two normal-sized keyboards stacked...). Still, the
load is always less than 1.

As an interesting note, that RS is connected to the net with a 3 feet D15
analog PC joystick cable... It fits the tranciever perfectly :-).
