mod_dns is a Apache module that allows busy servers to resolve hostnames in realtime.

The module uses a shared memory cache to store recently resolved hostnames. By default the cache uses 200k of shared ram, and will cache up to 1024 ip/host pairs.

mod_dns dramatically improves resolver performance, making it possible to resolve hostnames in real-time even for busy webservers.

Installation:

Define the APACHE_HOME environment variable (needed to find $APACHE_HOME/bin/apxs) then type make: (or do it all in one line..) % APACHE_HOME=/z/httpd/ make

Configure:

# load module and turn off Apache core gethostbyaddr() function LoadModule dns_module libexec/mod_dns.so
HostnameLookups Off

#< Location ... >
DnsLookups On
DnsTimeout_ms 5500
DnsResendTimer_ms 1900
#< /Location >

# built-in statistics page
< Location /mod_dns/stats >
SetHandler dns-stats-handler
< /Location >

5500 ms is the default timeout, UDP packets will be resent to the DNS server every 1900 ms (DnsResendTimer_ms). These directives can be configured per-directory, if for some reason its more important to resolve a host-name in one place than another.
Notice that once the cache has a bad entry in it, it will not be resolved again until it expires.

autonet.py is a small application which looks up existing network configuration files, probes the network with arping in order to determine if it can connect and ideally set up a working internet connection and routing.

If no internet connection is available, autonet.py will parse each configuration file, extract different network setups and probe if the network environment works with this configuration.

The probing is done with arping. A bogus IP 0.0.0.0 is used in order to get the network interface up. Then autonet.py tries to arping the gateway.

If the gateway responds the configuration is considered good. At this point there is no routing, so only hosts within the subnet defined in the configuration is used.

If none of the gateways in the configuration works, the probe gets more brutal by just setting up the network interface according to the configuration file, and and ping the gateway. Again, no routes yet.

If a configuration is considered working (gateway is pingable), the route is set as described in the configuration file. An internet connection should be established then.

This is also checked by pinging k.root-servers.org (as default, override with --testhost), use an IP address here, as DNS is not handled by autonet (yet?).

There is a special feature in autonet.py for owners of some models of Asus notebooks. The package contains a module which uses two LEDs of the laptop to show activity.

While searching and probing, the blue LED is flashing, if a working configuration is found the orange LED flickers for a second. Also this will only work if you have the asus module in your kernel, and it has *not* widely been tested. Have a look at Asus.py for details.

Some common vars can be edited in autonet.py, such as locations of required programs and some common settings (of which timeout does not even work yet) but in most cases supplying reasonable commandline arguments should be sufficient.

As Gentoo has slightly different settings, there are two scripts for Gentoo users, to make integration into the Gentoo init system easier.

Exponent is a web application that allows site owners to easily create and manage dynamic websites. Unlike other site management tools, Exponent is completely self-contained.

No additional applications need to be downloaded by a user to permit them to use Exponent. Everything from user management to site configuration to content editing and approval is done within the system.

Non-technical users, web-savvy administrators and web developers of all skill levels have something to gain from Exponent. Exponent is completely self-contained, unlike other site management tools on the internet.

For Users...

For people without technical backgrounds, Exponent is a user-friendly way to update a website. The system hides much of the complexity inherent in web design and development, and presents the user with simple forms for posting news, text, calendar events and more. The standard content editor provides visual editing, allowing people to create highly stylized content without learning HTML or CSS.

For Administrators...

Website administrators are given a powerful array of tools to manage the unseen parts of their website. Maintaining the sites database, dictating what users are allowed to create and manage content on what parts of the site, and configuring the system is all done with point and click tools. The Exponent permissions system gives webmasters a powerful and flexible way to let users and groups of users participate in site maintenance. Nearly every aspect of the sites behavior is controlled by the administrator, from the overall layout to the implementation of content approval policies.

For Developers...

Exponent provides developers a rich framework for deploying web applications. With a myriad of supporting subsystems, programmers can concentrate on the specific features of their application, while using a mature and stable backdrop of tools. Database abstraction, security, high-level date and time handling, intelligent redirection and configuration routines already exist, so application designers do not spend time re-inventing these common pieces.

KonaKart is a free java based online shopping cart application that provides everything that store owners need to sell their products over the Internet. The project includes an extensive set of online shopping cart features to satisfy the needs of both online shoppers and store owners alike.
We thought that there was a gap in the market for an affordable enterprise quality eCommerce solution designed with technologies that will perform and scale. We have made KonaKart database-compatible with the most widely used eCommerce solution (osCommerce) with over 11,000 live stores, to allow a seamless upgrade path for users demanding better performance, flexibility, scalability and connectivity.
KonaKart is a Java / JSP / XML based solution with easy to use java API s and a SOAP Web Service interface for the ultimate in connectivity.
Main features:
- KonaKart is feature rich. Although KonaKart is a new product, it contains consolidated functionality that is being used by 1000s of companies world wide.
- KonaKart was designed to be modular and easily extensible in order to provide you with multiple customization paths for producing the eCommerce site that you need to run your business.
- KonaKart was designed to perform and scale as your site increases in popularity.
- KonaKart includes a sophisticated and powerful administration application.
- We do not charge you for the software. We will provide services and maintenance contracts on demand.
Who do we target
Our aim is to provide a solution for any medium to large sized company who needs a scalable application that will perform and grow as their business grows. The fact that we are database compatible with osCommerce, gives an easy upgrade opportunity to any current osCommerce customer that feels that a PHP based application doesnt give them the performance and scalability that they need for a large customer base and busy online store.
We also target ISPs who host Java applications; maybe have some experience with osCommerce and would like to differentiate their offering by hosting KonaKart for a more discerning customer base.

- A new callback class now gets called whenever an order is made by a customer or when the state of an order changes due to an event such as a payment gateway callback.
- The installer now checks your database connection and, optionally, initializes your database.
- A new KonaKart news feed was added to the Admin App.

Darwin is the core of Mac OS X. The Darwin kernel is based on FreeBSD and Mach 3.0 technologies and provides protected memory and pre-emptive multitasking. Darwin runs on PowerPC-based Macintosh computers and a version is also available for x86-compatible computers.
Apples open source projects allow developers to customize and enhance key Apple software. Through the open source model, Apple engineers and the open source community collaborate to create better, faster and more reliable products for our users.
Beneath the appealing, easy-to-use interface of Mac OS X is a rock-solid foundation that is engineered for stability, reliability, and performance. This foundation is a core operating system commonly known as Darwin.
Darwin integrates a number of technologies, most importantly Mach 3.0, operating-system services based on 4.4BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), high-performance networking facilities, and support for multiple integrated file systems.
Since it was first released in March 1999, Darwin has been the open-source OS technology underlying Apples Mac OS X operating system, with all development being managed and hosted by Apple at http://developer.apple.com/darwin/.
Since Apples Mac OS X releases are based directly on the live Darwin CVS repository, it has been necessary to have a fairly comprehensive procedural framework in place for registering and managing Darwin developers to ensure a good level of quality control. While this system has served its intended purpose quite well, it is desirable to further increase the collaboration between Apple and the open source community beyond the current model.
OpenDarwin.org, jointly founded in April 2002 by Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC) and Apple, is an attempt to take cooperative Darwin development to the next level. Membership in the OpenDarwin project and access to its works are open to everyone.
The project is also fully independent, with control over its own web site, project news, bug tracking information and CVS repository, as well as any other services that the community owners may wish to provide. Neither Apple nor ISC take any responsibility for, or exercise any editorial control over, the OpenDarwin project.
Many OpenDarwin members are either Apple employees or Darwin Committers, who have an active interest in merging technologies from OpenDarwin.org into Darwin and Mac OS X releases. With OpenDarwin, project members have greater latitude in producing incremental updates or interim releases of Darwin.
The mission of the OpenDarwin project is to innovate and explore new technologies while still remaining relevant, through its informal connection to www.opensource.apple.com, to the mainstream computing environments that Apple provides. It complements Apples infrastructure by allowing increased participation by the community.
