snorwood's Home Network

These hosts comprise snorwood's network. The primary server (web, mail, DNS, shell, etc.) is a virtual NetBSD machine, located at Panix in New York on one of their Xen servers. I have had a shell account at Panix for years, and continue to be impressed with the company and its customer service. In the past, these services have been hosted at a college dorm connection, snorwood's parents' house on a cable connection, and snorwood's apartment on an DSL connection.

At various times, the network has included machines running Linux, Solaris, IRIX, HP-UX, Windows, NetBSD, and other operating systems. Hardware has included Sparc (snorwood's personal favorite), x64, MIPS, VAX, and PA-RISC. Recently, I converted my non-laptop home machines over to Linux on x64, due to the demise of Sun, unanswered questions about the future of Solaris and Sparc, and cheap x86 hardware.

Everything rsyncs nightly to woodchuck, which runs daily backups to LTO2 tapes.

I am currently using Apache (with PHP and mod_ssl) for web service, Postfix (with Cyrus-SASL and UW-imapd) for mail service, and BIND for name service.
