[Box-Admins] a plan

[Chris Cunnington]

1. http://build.squeak.org works fine as it's on box3. The problem is in box2, specifically in the /tinydns/root/data.in file that I changed yesterday. 

2. The plan I have to fix this is to change the TTL to one hour and iterate. The problem is the wildcard which did duty for many subdomains reaching box2. 

3. I count those subdomains to be: ftp, bugs, source, wiki, map, www, nil, news, and lists. 

4. I intend to remove the wildcard and state each subdomain explicitly. The current state of the tinydns file is attached [1]

5. For future reference the way tinydns works is as follows. Edit the data (or data.in) file and execute make. 
This produces a fresh data.cdb file, which takes effect immediately. tinydns need not be restarted. 

6. The /tinywiki/root/Makefile in box4 compiles the data.cdb file and then rsync's a copy to box3. 
There is no such relationship to box2, I don't think. At least from reading the Makefiles in boxes 2 and 4. 

7. I apologize for stopping the squeak rig in its tracks. The fault is mine. And as I have taken the blame, I feel free to say that this setup is a kludge. 

8. I think there is no chance of the email knocking out, as it's on the lists subdomain on squeakfoundation.org, which I have no need to touch. It should continue to work as expected. 

Thank you for your patience, 

Chris
