[arm-allstar] ASL Registration system down this morning

[David McGough]

Bryan,

Yes, that is correct for public nodes--if ASL's server is down, only nodes
registered with the HamVoIP registration system will be able to connect.
And, the opposite would be true, too, if HamVoIP's servers were down for
any reason.

To help improve overall network reliability, we're extending the HamVoIP 
registration servers to all AllStar users, whatever flavor distro you're 
running.  There is no limitation that you can only be registered with one 
system or the other.

So, ultimately, I recommend registering with both. That should give very 
high reliability.  I'm putting the the remaining pieces of the HamVoIP 
system together right now. ACID/DIAL/ASL, etc., users will even be able to 
download the nodelist files, if they have no other easy option.

More detail about this soon. There are some very fancy features about to 
be announced!

And for any who are wondering, the HamVoIP system has reasonable US 
geographic diversity. We've now got systems at 4 US locations: Los 
Angeles,CA, Dallas,TX, Wilmington,NC and Secaucus,NJ. Each location has at 
least GigE connectivity to major providers.

73, David KB4FXC
