Re: UK Mirror site unavailable (uk.php.net) (fwd)

we really should have a Reply-to header on the mailing lists ;) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2003 17:34:29 +0100 From: Chris Hills <chills@ne-worcs.ac.uk> To: shimi <shimi@shimi.net> Subject: Re: UK Mirror site unavailable (uk.php.net) (fwd) Thanks for the reply! Ths site appears to be up and running now. Just fyi, the address allocation the site is situated on belongs to BT PLC, and is assigned for Btexact IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnelling. As most providers do not offer native ipv6, using a tunnel broker is the next best way of getting a connection. Before mailing, I failed to check who ran the authorative dns for the mirror site. The host uk.php.net is a pointer to php.networkedsystems.co.uk, and so I should have contacted the appropriate contact. Please accept my apology for the confusion!
