leif has put up the site for normal humans (and normals of an other
species) at https://wp.cryptech.is/. it has a cert your issued by a
root that is in browsers.
it probably should be the default landing page, https://cryptech.is/.
presuming we agree to do so, rob has come up with the following plan:
Add lists, trac, wiki, and git all pointing at the FreeBSD VM
which is now cryptech.is.
MX for @ points to lists.
A and AAAA for @ point to Ubuntu VM; don't care whether we keep wp
CNAME or not.
Hack chosen names for each into respective Apache and MTA config so
they recognize themselves :)
Add one more name for FreeBSD VM: eng (or something denoting that
this is where geeks work). Arguably, wiki, trac, git, and lists
should all be CNAMEs pointing to eng.
Point of change: machine has to call itself something when
originating mail and any of the role-based names is arguably wrong
when acting in one of the other roles; we could attempt to sort out
every place where this kind of confusion might occur, but it may be
more trouble than it's worth, so having a default name that's not
too stupid for any role gives us an easy out for the cases we miss.
If discussion on this turns into a mess, I will steal an idea from
Keith Mitchell and propose that the FreeBSD machine be named
bikeshed.cryptech.is.
seems sensible to me. i hope it does not damage too many scripts out
there. comments before we execute?
