York University / York Regional Police Ontario Mixup</h1>
<p>Someone at internic.net once screwed up the reverse lookup entries
for the University subnet (144.32). In fact they managed to overwrite
the entry by one for the York Regional Police in
Ontario! This change occurred on 25 January, and as our
entries expired from the caches on other domain name servers we found
that some sites were refusing to accept mail and FTP connections from
the machines.</p>
<p>The original text was
<blockquote>
<p>Network access to BIDS, NISS and some ftp servers
continues to be restricted. This is due to the Internet authorities in
the US losing the registration for the University of York, and with it,
vital addressing information. The entry for NET-YORK has been allocated
instead to York Regional Police, 17250 Yonge Street, Newmarket, Ontario;
L3Y 4W5.</p>
<p>We understand that the Internet Network Information Center (NIC) is
attempting to recreate our original entries, but we do not know
precisely when this will happen.</p>
<p align=center>Information provided on 2-FEB-1995 16:30 by jg</p>
</blockquote>
<p>However, a whois query to internic.net reveals that NET-YORK still
(8/1996) points to York Regional Police, although NET-YORK2 points to
york.ac.uk.</p>
