domain name system - DNS service discovery and SRV record format conflict

In the rel="nofollow noreferrer">RFC 2782 for SRV record type we can
read:



The format of the SRV
RR

Here is the format of the SRV RR, whose DNS type code is
33:

_Service._Proto.Name TTL Class SRV Priority Weight Port
Target


(There is an example near the end of this
document.)

Service
The symbolic name of the desired
service, as defined in Assigned
Numbers [STD 2] or locally. An underscore (_)
is prepended to
the service identifier to avoid collisions with DNS labels
that
occur in nature.
Some widely used services, notably POP,
don't have a single
universal name. If Assigned Numbers names the
service

indicated, that name is the only name which is legal for
SRV
lookups. The Service is case insensitive.


Proto
The symbolic name of the desired protocol, with an
underscore
(_) prepended to prevent collisions with DNS labels that
occur
in nature. _TCP and _UDP are at present the most useful
values
for this field, though any name defined by Assigned Numbers
or
locally may be used (as for Service). The Proto is case

insensitive.


Name
The domain this RR refers
to. The SRV RR is unique in that the
name one searches for is not this name;
the example near the end
shows this
clearly.



On
the other hand in the RFC 6763 for DNS-Based Service Discovery they are using SRV
record in such format:




Instance._Service._Proto.Name
TTL Class SRV Priority Weight Port
Target


where
Instance may contain almost all
characters:




It MUST
NOT contain ASCII control characters (byte values 0x00-0x1F and
0x7F) [RFC20]
but otherwise is allowed to contain any characters,
without restriction,
including spaces, uppercase, lowercase,
punctuation -- including dots --
accented characters, non-Roman text,

and anything else that may be
represented using
Net-Unicode.


As an
example we can get such record from
dns-sd.org:



$ dig +noall +answer
SRV
"Service\032Discovery._http._tcp.dns-sd.org."
Service\032Discovery._http._tcp.dns-sd.org.
60 IN SRV 0 0 80
dns-sd.org.


So my
question is: does this SRV record format valid accordingly to RFC 2782? And if it is
valid why, for example, cloudflare doesn't allow to add such
record?

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

ubuntu - Monitoring CPU, Mem, disk, on a single server

I've been looking for a simple starter solution for monitoring my [currently] single server hosted solution. Other than Nagios and similar, are there other good (simple) solutions people are using? Answer Everything depends on what you want. For example Munin is very simple, you can install and configure it in less then 10 minutes (on one server), it can sends alarms, make graphs from monitoring cpu, mem. apache connections, eaccellerator, disk io and many many more (it has many plugins). But if you are planning in future get some more machines, munin may not be enough. For example in munin you cant monitor state of individual processes, can't monitor changes in files (for security purpose). So if you wanna only see what is the utilization of basics parameters on your server and don't plan to buy some more servers Munin is what you are looking for, but if you wanna be alarmed when some of your service is down, take more control on what is happeninig on...

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...
