We are pleased to announce that our native IPv6 connection to Global Crossing is now officially in service. It’s actually been in service since June, but there were a few changes that had to be made before we could make it official.

DNS Exit Breaks IPv6
We were troubleshooting DNS for a customer who has the domains hosted over at DNS Exit over the last couple of days and couldn’t seem to nail down why we here at Rollernet couldn’t resolve their DNS reliably, if at all. After much extended testing, we eventually tested from a site that was IPv4 only [...]
IANA IPv4 Free Pool is Now at 6.25%
From the ARIN-announce mailing list: ARIN has been allocating IPv6 addresses since 1999 and has been actively advocating the need to deploy IPv6. In 2007, the ARIN Board of Trustees resolved to educate and inform the Internet community regarding IPv4 depletion and the increasing need to adopt IPv6. This resolution became part of a larger [...]
The End of the Verizon Story
If you’ve been following our Verizon story, you know by now that we’ve been trying to get them to turn up a dual-stack circuit for over a year now. Last year on June 7, 2009, we signed an agreement for Verizon to deliver fiber to our premises. This allows us to offer our customers a [...]
New: Secondary DNS Multi-Zone Settings
We have just released a multi-zone settings tool to our Secondary DNS service. This allows settings such as master, second master, and AXFR/NOTIFY settings to be applied to multiple (or all) Secondary DNS zones without having to update each zone individually. Zone file maintenance actions (delete and retransfer) must still be performed individually. This new [...]
Full Release of New Outbound Mail Features
As we mentioned last week there was a bug preventing us from releasing one of the new features for Outbound Mail. All of the accounts affected by this bug have been contacted and fixed, so we can proceed with the full release on May 22 as promised. Outbound Mail accounts now feature all of these [...]
New: Secondary DNS “Second Master”
We’ve added an option to specify an optional second master DNS server for zones in our Secondary DNS service. Unlike the first master, only an IPv4 or IPv6 address is accepted for the second master. This can be useful if you want to specify a redundant master server or dual stack IPv6 and IPv4 connectivity [...]
New Outbound Mail Features
As we mentioned earlier, there are several new new features for our Outbound Mail service pending imminent release. We’re pleased to announce the release of the following: Mail mirroring support for Outbound accounts Mail forwarding (BCC) for Outbound accounts IPv6 access filter to compliment the existing IPv4 filter Due to a last minute bug, the [...]
Mail Forwarding IPv6 Enabled
As part of our ever expanding quest to fully IPv6 enable our services, the new IPv6 enabled mail forwarding servers are now online. If a forwarding destination is reachable via IPv6, we’ll try it. We’re getting close to tackling the big one: IPv6 enabled incoming mail. Stay tuned!
Forwarded Mail Source Change
We are changing the source of forwarded mail as handled by the “Mail Forwarding” option in the account control center. Messages forwarded to external email addresses were previously sent from 208.79.240.32/28. Starting today, we will begin migrating forwarding to a new group of servers out of 208.79.241.112/28. This change is permanent and is being made [...]
