[HCoop-Discuss] fyodor future

[Justin S. Leitgeb]

I think that there is no need to have fyodor on line soon after 
configuring the new setup at Peer 1.  Basically it's just a matter of 
cutting our primary services from fyodor to Peer 1, and then dumping 
fyodor as soon as possible.  A month sounds reasonable, as long as we 
help people along a little bit.  We have strong reasons for leaving 
fyodor and Interserver.

We need to be careful about dropping abulafia too quickly, though.  
Abulafia is currently the secondary DNS server for many of the zones 
hosted on our server.  Remember that if DNS service for any zone is not 
available, not only will web pages not be viewable, but email to that 
zone will get ungracefully bounced.

Recently, we have noted problems with Interserver and fyodor that would 
make our primary DNS unavailable (ns.hcoop.net points to fyodor).  In 
these cases, it would be critical to have secondary DNS online to avoid 
dropping email.

We will get off of Abulafia soon with the Peer 1 setup, but we have to 
be careful about planning exactly how we are going to cut this service 
in advance in order to avoid ugly service disruptions.

Just my .02,


Justin
