AUNIC Problems and outages

Scheduled outage 2004-09-26 for aunic

The aunic server was moved to a different rack (the new one is specifically for auDA equipment) on Sunday morning. The down-time for this move was 8:00am to 08:15am on 26 September.

2004-03-09 aunic back online

aunic.aunic.net is now online. Initially it is just handling DNS functions from box2 (primary DNS for the .au zone, secondary DNS for some 2LDs and gov.au 3LDs), mail to aunic.net and www.aunic.net. Other functions (such as whois, keyserver, registration services) may be restored over time.

The main aunic machine, box2.aunic.net has been suffering from hardware issues and is not staying up for more than a few hours. The machine will be replaced by a totally new machine called aunic.aunic.net.

Please ensure that you do not have any references to aunic.telstra.net, or hard-coded IP addresses, you should only refer to www.aunic.net (for html pages) or cgi.aunic.net (for cgi scripts, although most people should not directly refer to AUNIC cgi scripts, unless you have permission from auda).
