On Sunday Dec 20th, UUNET will be reorganizing its local ethernet
layout to better handle increasing load.  In addition, UUNET will be
reallocating the IP addresses for some of the production hosts.  This
reorganization has forced the normal Sunday dumps to be pushed back by
two hours, so they will start at noon Eastern time on Sunday.  As
usual, UUCP customers will be unable to transfer files while dumps are
occurring.

Additionally, after the dumps are finished, there will be additional
time during which UUNET will be unreachable while the actual re-wiring
and testing of the new network organization is performed.  During part
of this time period (which should start at 3:00pm EST), AlterNet
connectivity may experience several small routing flaps.  No routing
problems should persist more than 15 minutes.

When the reorganization is complete, UUCP customers should not see any
functional differences in service.  Customers who use TCP/IP to
communicate with UUNET and use the nameserver (BIND) to resolve
addresses should have no problem communicating with us.  Only people
who are using hardwired IP addresses for UUNET hosts addresses should
have problems.  Given that DNS has been widely deployed on the Internet
for over five years, this should not be a problem.  If your hosts are
not using DNS at this time, we strongly urge that you switch all your
computers to use DNS for hostname resolution.

Hostname:       Old IP address:         New IP address:

news1.uu.net    137.39.1.16             153.39.3.71
news2.uu.net    137.39.1.17             153.39.3.72
