I am in the process of finishing up some new code which will put the list of tier1 and tier2 servers into the LDAP database. Not only will this make it easier to share information between different web pages (there's a lot of places where files are being generated so another server can wget the information), but it also opens up additional fields of information.

The place to go: http://servers.opennicproject.org/

If you are a Tier2 administrator, please make sure you have registered an account at https://www.opennicproject.org/members/
If the name on your servers does not match your actual login name, please send me a private email with the information and I will get it corrected.

Some info about the new setup... Servers can now have both an IPv4 and IPv6 address assigned (making it easier to see which addresses are actually the same machine). New fields have been added to list alternate open ports, whether a server uses whitelisting/blacklisting, and a full block of information for DNSCrypt support.

Location, DNSCrypt, and logging information has been added to TXT record for servers which have the appropriate entries. As an example, you might see the following:

# dig +short TXT ns1.akl.nz.dns.opennic.glue
"Log policy: (Anonymous) Auckland, New Zealand"
"Location: Auckland, New Zealand"
"DNSCrypt-Server: fvz-rec-nz-akl-01"
"DNSCrypt-key: D7F2:D231:33BD:2A55:DF4F:C2E8:53FC:43C3:525F:423A:518F:0DC4:5A67:9E35:D940:314B"

For those simply viewing the list of servers on the new page, several bits of info will appear by hovering over different fields. You can also see the full record for a server by clicking on the hostname. There are a number of buttons at the top of the page, including a search option, which allows you to view only the servers you are interested in. You can also click on a column header to sort the list by that field.

The formatting still needs filled in -- I tested the CSS under firefox and chrome, but I still need to add -webkit- entries for most of the fancy stuff. Also a lot of features on the page, such as sorting by country codes, require javascript. As I work more with the code I will try to reduce the dependency on JS for those who aren't using it.

As always, let me know if you see any bugs.
