London service network maintenance - 22/04/2009 00:01 - 04:00

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

COMPLETED: 22/4/09 at 04:00

NewNet engineers will be undertaking planned maintenance on a service network in London in order to migrate systems to a more resilient network platform.

The following services have been classified as “at risk” during this maintenance window and will experience brief outages as they are migrated:

• London DNS servers used by ADSL / SDSL / London Leased Line / London Colocation / LLU customers (212.87.64.7 and 212.87.64.10)
• Primary authoritative DNS - usui.newnet.co.uk. The secondary system, hayashi.newnet.co.uk is located on a separate network and will not be affected.
• prana.th.newnet.co.uk - primary backup SMTP service
• ftp.newnet.co.uk
• Primary ADSL RADIUS system - backup systems are located on other networks so authentication should continue as normal.

No prolonged outage of any of these services is expected.
