I'll get it into the WIKI when I write the articles
As for the support staff, it's true. If I wasn't best buddies (and were before they started with me) with all my workers, It'd feel like a job for me.
Francisco
EDIT
Sure, that'll start a sa- shitstorm too.

@Francisco will lv reseller be available again? and do you guys offer internal whmcs license?
Yes, no.
LV resellers should be available next week. With the maintenance i'm doing on lv-shared01 tomorrow, I'll also be adding additional drives so we can get nightly backups enabled and storing locally.
Francisco
What are people using there $15/year servicesfor?
@Smir: Backup MX and secondary NS
Anycast DNS?
Francisco
@Francisco you're saying Anycast is ready? Seems like I'm behind again ... x(
Very close.
I got all the node side code done last night. I have a tiny bit more in stallion as well as some changes to provisioning but past that it's more or less done.
Francisco
@Francisco cool, looks like another $15 will go out of my pocket soon ...
I'll be committing the code this weekend most likely. I got a little bit of testing on the network side but that's pretty easy.
I figure in 2 weeks we'll have anycast IPV6 ready as well
Francisco
@Francisco: do we just need to wait and the IPv6 will appear in cpanel or is it necessary to open a ticket?
With full /64 ranges?
I wasn't planning on it, was going to just do single IP allocations.
The problem is I'd have to make it so users could have multiple /64's. It wouldn't be hard, it'd just be a lot more generalizing
Feedback?
Francisco
We'll just assign all current accounts addresses.
cPanel's IPV6 setup is really pathetic though. They don't have automatic assignments for addresses so it requires us to go in and manually do it. There isn't a shell script we can wrap to automate it either.
Francisco
Wasn't it forbidden to carry ARIN IPs outside of the ARIN service area?
Loads of people do it. As far as I'm aware the entity using the IPs just needs to be located in the ARIN zone.
Single IPs are fine if that's what's easier for you. Better to have something than nothing.
Was only asking because a /64 is supposed to be the end user assignment but I guess not many here do it properly anyway.
I'll chew on it once I sit down.
Ideally I'd like to add an option so users could change their allocations into a routed /64 and such.
Francisco
I would prefer a /64 for IPv6 Anycast too, as I'm already using a /64 for each VPS. However if that should be too complicated, single IPs are also fine.
EDIT: Or how about one single, bigger subnet? (like /56) so that customers can assign /64 to Anycast and single VPS?
I'll chew on it some and come up with a good compromise
If you're a part of VPSBoard, I got an active development thread going on over there where I source feedback on ideas/changes. I always appreciate all feedback, be it good or bad.
Francisco
Sure, I wasn't even expecting anycast for IPv6 until I saw your post. My experience is that IPv6 often gets neglected. What about IPv6 floating IPs though, same date as for IPv6 anycast? My idea about subnetting was just inspired by Online.net, they give one larger subnet to each cuatomer and then their clients can mess around and create additional /64 subnets, to route them to individual servers.
I'll register on VPSBoard and keep an eye on your development activities, if I should find the thread somewhere. Stallion rocks!
Floating/failover IPV6 will be in this coming commit, along side V4 anycast
You'll also be able to failover your internal IP address.
Francisco
Awesome!
Can Anycast IPs be routed to both public and private floating IPs? My guess would be that only public ones are supported, but I'm not sure.
Actually that was requested by one of our customers. They want us to have anycast'd local IP addresses, that way they can have a single unison configuration between all of their nodes, making it easy to setup SQL servers.
It's for sure on the TODO list, might even see it during the V6 anycast
If not, early January.
Francisco
Can't you code something to automate the process?
Anyway, any ETA on that?
Good luck & thx
No since they don't have it anywhere in their API or even in shell scripts.
Normally cpanel has all their stuff in /scripts so we could easily wrap it and just use a cron to handle it but that isn't the case here.
Francisco
When applying for additional IP space, ARIN requires the following:
"Please reply and verify that you will be using the requested number resources within the ARIN region and announcing all routing prefixes of the requested space from within the ARIN region. In accordance with section 2.2 of the NRPM, ARIN issues number resources only for use within its region."
Maybe they have legacy space.
