the site of multilink is pretty secure, we did not lost comunications after the earthquake, we will be glad to colocate at no charge a secodary .ht DNS server if this could improve the resisience on the domain.

Kim,

Thanks for the updates on Max and Stéphane.

The Katrina experience was that no-wireline (data and power) persists for weeks, so vsat, 6volt, inverters and generators are mandatory for each persistent, isolated, routed subnet.

The buildout from zero may not replicate the pre-quake wireline infrastructure, and that will determine the basic shape of access providers, and won’t rely upon the same emergency power and routing elements.

If you’re going to organize, or just be a poc, there are two inventories of gear to assemble, the wireless, self-powered pallets for “now”, and the fungible donated kit from the US for “later”.

Again, thanks for the updates on Max and Stéphane.

Thank you for the update Kim. Because the .HT NIC follows best practice protocol of diverse and redundant DNS four of the six HT NS have continued to resolve through the disaster, with PCH updating the zones files. Thanks to all involved in making sure this vital piece of communications remains available. It is at times like these that I most appreciate the thoughtful consideration of the engineers, policy planners, and administrators.
