New Computer

Michael Dale

I purchased a new desktop computer the other day (first one since 2003). Unfortunately the video card has not come yet, so my vista "experience" score is interesting :)


Vista Rating


The computer is an Intel 2.4GHz Quad Core with 4gb Ram and a 8800GTS (currently an X300se, heh).

New Server

Michael Dale

Finally got a new server running. So I'm in the process of moving the websites over it to.


It should be faster too (it is an Athlon 64 3000+).

Back online

Michael Dale
The internet was connected today. So I've got the web server temporality going. I'm going to replace it with something else as it is too noise and doesn't work correctly.

web server

Michael Dale
The Web Server is having issues *again*.

This time it looks like one of the CPUs isn't working. So it's going to be running with a single cpu until I get around to fixing it :|

EDIT: Still having issues. Might be a power supply issue, but we don't have another one to test with.

Downtime

Michael Dale
Sorry about the downtime. There are some issues with Apache that are causing the server to lockup; I haven't had time to look into it yet.


The reason I didn't get to it quicker was that I had been at Heron Island for the week (which was awesome).

Webserver

Michael Dale
The web server has been doing some odd things.

Yesterday I needed to restart apache as it had used up all of the swap space (2.5gb), which was causing mysql to fail.

This morning I checked the load and found this

Web Server CPU Load

I should probably look into it :)

IPsecuritas to Netscreen IPsec VPN

Michael Dale

I took these screen shots a while ago, but I thought they may be useful.

Note: If you want to setup the netscreen side follow this howto (ignoring the last section about setting up Netscreen Remote).

This setup is only using DES/MD5 and not 3DES/SHA-1 with a 10.0.0.0/22 remote network. Your setup may be different to this.

Private Network

Michael Dale
I want to setup something like this.


So basically it would include:
  • VPN (ipsec) links to each user

  • BGP or OSPF running tunneled through the VPN (to advertise the networks everyone is running)

  • Internal DNS system


I've got a stack of networking gear now (netscreen and cisco stuff), most of it is fairly old but should be more than capable of doing what I want.


If anyone is interested send me an email.
