It's the Alibaba IPv4 from Zenlayer. After NYC gets forced to change because they didn't respond with LOA, the major location left over that uses them is LAX.

But also Dallas, Atlanta & Seattle, at least I have IPs in that range there. Unless you are saying those aren't major or aren't going to be locations due to the Dedipath stuff.
Due to the way everything works, logistically speaking, it's best to remove the old IPv4 address completely. It's already much more complicated than usual since we're doing larger VLANs and I'm afraid if we keep the old addresses the steps will be even more convoluted and open the door for the process not going very smoothly. Basically for every step that used to be one step, it's now three to four, multiply that out and it makes it much less straightforward.
Plus adding in the old subnets back was basically a "maybe" meaning we had concerns it could end up bringing back our old large VLANs issue, so I think it's best to leave it alone and just focus on making sure everything works well and the process doesn't get riddled with mishaps.
With all that said, what this means is we won't bring back the old IPv4 for the rest of the month for NYC. For others, we can still be more flexible and they'll have access to both old and new for a longer time. We do technically still have them so if it goes super smoothly and we get a lot of requests for it, we'll take a second look and see what's actually plausible.

I was basically leaving out anything Dedipath, those are still up in the air since it could end up being an IP change required unrelated to anything else. But there are a small number of servers elsewhere that aren't Dedipath and using ZL outside of LAX, yes.
The locations you mentioned could still end up getting migrations to other locations.
I would expect that for those of you who have turned off VNC in the SolusVM panel, it is time to turn it back on. At least for DCs that have potential IP changes.

Thanks for the clarification. The only thing I hope is that there's a Dallas option. Other stuff I don't care where it ends up or if IPs change.
NYCB020 is going to end up being short some IPv4 addresses, we're moving forward with doing a lot of other things that have a more crucial timeline, but in case it reaches worst case scenario it means some people will not receive a notice and their service will go back online with the old IPv4 address that won't be working.
Same thing for few people on NYCB038 most likely (so to be clear I'm speaking about maybe 5 to 10% of the people on here.)
If there's time beforehand, I'll definitely send something out, the solution will be to migrate those over after maintenance completes so it just means a little bit extra time.
I will also say after we're done with NYC maintenance, IPv4 connectivity is going to be a little rocky. Similar to last time where the /17 got pulled away, it will take some time for all routes to start working perfectly and it may even be inaccessible to some people entirely. This is still the best we can do, all other options are worse. If ZL did reply back when we contacted them it would possibly be have been a little bit more smooth. Just wanted to re-iterate that while we did find a solution (new blocks) it's not perfect.

SolusVM was acting up, unfortunately it wasn't doing well trying to process all the changes, so notifications couldn't finish going on for the changes and they'll have to continue after re-racked.

A couple of them are not responding now, it makes me think it's possibly routing related since when you originally mentioned it, they were accessible from the master server. Going to check further.

Anyway, SolusVM is not having a good time right now, I'm unable to restore any of Denver. It was already struggling earlier today on the IPv4 changes hence why we couldn't finish them in time. About 40~ of them are ready and waiting for SVM to function.
Okay so the two in Atlanta and two in Denver that went offline are all on the same /22. This is the one we were moving to LAX, perhaps they misunderstood the instructions, could make sense. I could see how this would happen if they went further than I thought with the plan.
Only weird part is the IPMI isn't working either, I wonder if they sent Flex a de-announcement request or something.
(edit) Read through the communication, doesn't seem like they did that, RADB still shows FLEX. Okay, I'm getting some more coffee.
Okay there we go RPKI updated, sort of, routing issue. Contacting IPv4 provider to have it changed back and we'll just scrap the moving blocks idea moving forward. Probably my fault somewhere down the line.

For me IP change doesn't matter as I am just using VPS to host blogs. So no matter what the IP is, I am fine with it.
