Some IPs Are Being Blocked by My Host, Not Intentionally

December 5th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

It looks like for some reason that my host is blocking IP address including ESRI. Believe me it isn’t intentional and we are working on figuring out what the problem is. This includes both http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com and http://www.planetgs.com as they are hosting on the same server.

    One firewall thing that has bitten me in the past is to have my firewall block IANA reserved IP blocks. Then later on, IANA opens up a block and if you don’t keep the firewall rules up to date, you can wind up blocking people. For example, the IPTables setup script documented here (http://www.malibyte.net/iptables/scripts/fwscripts.html) shows a list of IANA reserved blocks.
