networking - What's the difference between a subnet and a netblock?

I'm new to networking and am trying to get my terminology straight. I've Google this question but haven't found anything that clearly explains it. Answer I'm not sure that there is an official definition of "netblock", but in common usage, I've most frequently heard it used in reference to an IP address allocation assigned by an RIR to another organization. "Subnet", on the other hand, is a more broad networking concept, used when referring to a portion of the IP addresses that are part of a larger network scope. So, to use these terms together, I will use this fictitious situation: ARIN has allocated the 203.0.113.0/24 netblock to MyBigCorporation MyBigCorporation needs to subdivide this allocation into smaller subnets for various purposes, so... MyBigCorporation allocates 203.0.113.0/28 (a subnet of 203.0.113.0/24 ) for use by their inbound MXes

Apache SNI config to send handshake alert: unrecognized_name

installation - Strangeness during Windows Server Install (drive duplication) [SAN]

itemprop="text"> I have recently taken over as an administrator for an IBM chassis and associated blades, along with accompanying IBM SAN. One of the blades is running VMWare ESXi 5, and we don't need it anymore, so I'm going to wipe it and install Windows Server The blade has no onboard storage, and is setup to boot from the SAN. According to the SAN software, it has two 120 gig partitions and a 30 gig partition carved out. I've planned to just use the existing storage setup for the machine, so wiping and installing new.

domain name system - Not receiving mails from some senders due to DNS config

This helped me to identify the problem by doing a quick search which led me to this page on Google Apps Help Forum. Indeed, I checked the DNS record for my domain, and @ was set to ghs.google.com. (CNAME), which it shouldn't be. Changing that to @ 74.125.93.121 (A) * resolved the problem. I understand that in the cases where the mail wouldn't come through, my domain name was substituted by it's cano...
