    Funny RackShack story

    Haha.

    Oh this is SO messed up.

    RS assigns me new ips. Great. I add the ips to my machine. Great. Ok. I setup rock.drirc.net to dns to one of the ips they
    assigned to me.

    rock.drirc.net --> 64.246.17.77

    ok. So, i login to another rackshack server, and type:

    ping rock.drirc.net..

    And do you know what i see?? unreal dude
    # ping rock.drirc.net
    PING rock.drirc.net (64.246.17.77) from 216.127.66.84 : 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from siti.nurhaliza.and.britney.spears.exposed.in.nakedwifes.org (64.246.17.77): icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=575 usec
    64 bytes from siti.nurhaliza.and.britney.spears.exposed.in.nakedwifes.org (64.246.17.77): icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=946 usec
    64 bytes from siti.nurhaliza.and.britney.spears.exposed.in.nakedwifes.org (64.246.17.77): icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=415 usec

    1. I am shocked that they still left the rdns entry there
    2. In order to get RDNS done at rackshack, you have to ask for it. You have to tell them what you want it to rdns to. I am
    shocked that rackshack said sure we'll make $ip reverse dns to siti.nurhaliza.and.britney.spears.exposed.in.nakedwifes.org!

    LOL

    i mean i know i can just ask them to take off the rdns.. but i just find it funny that the ips they assign me have rdns
    entries like that.

    um dude

    this isnt a case of bad service, or OH NO THEY BILLED ME 5X

    or OH NO MY SERVER CRASHES CONSTANTLY BLAH BLAH BLAH

    i was just pointing out something funny

    it doesn't bother me that they had LEFT a rdns entry on one of my ips.

    im sure other isps have made mistakes like that.

    i just thought it was funny

    RackShack's service has been improving and they have servers for $189/ month that they provide quality support on.

    heh

    just an update now

    one of the ips rackshack assigned me was 64.246.17.77

    i made rock.drirc.net dns to 64.246.17.77 as i said earlier

    well i guess someone else has 64.246.17.77 added to their machine
    so im thinking

    a) rackshack assigned me someone elses ips by acident
    b) somoene added 64.246.17.77 for some reason to their server(which isnt likely)

    ill go w/ a)

    looks like ill be contacting RS about this....
    cant use ips that arent mine.

    Clocker, you don't think someone would actually stop for a second and *gasp* read your post without throwing out the, "you get what you pay for..." line do you?

    I have actually seen a few times that someone has added an IP they didn't own meaning that the true owner can't use the IP.

    I also know that Rackshack has terminated users (that did it several times). Still a funny story though
