Hi everybody,

I have been interested with opennic for quite a long time, and some
days ago I decieded to run a public T2 dns server.
I'm a system administrator from Switzerland, 35 yo, and I use debian
linux. My motivations in helping opennic are both technical and
ideological.

I operate a T2 server @pluton.zaledia.com (51.254.217.141), and I
experienced some troubles with the process.

1. I tried to add my server under http://servers.opennicproject.org/,
but was not able to do it. Here is the output:

Warning: ldap_add(): Add: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error
in /home/opennicproject.org/http/servers/_edit.php on line 298

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at
/home/opennicproject.org/http/servers/_edit.php:298) in
/home/opennicproject.org/http/servers/_edit.php on line 303

2. I'm not sure about the iptables rules to help mitigate DDOS. I
added some rules based on those:
http://wiki.opennicproject.org/Tier2Security
Now, I can query my dns server from my home system, but
http://report.opennicproject.org/t2log/test.php cannot access it.
Maybe my rules are a bit too agressive ? Are you guys able to query my
server ? Do you have some recommended rules that are not listed on the
wiki ?

Best regards, Julien
