RE: www.php.net over GeoDNS - please update your ServerAlias

Hello Hannes,

 

It is on the same server/IP as nl1.php.net. I'll change the config soon so it will redirect to www.php.net after that change.

 

Regards, Mark

europe.rsync.php.net shouldn't listen to http traffic at all, that is just weird? Besides it would show up as unofficial mirror (and being an extra attack vector).

If it is on a server listening to http, I guess a blank html page with meta refresh to www.php.net would be best. idk though, don't have a strong opinion.

 

I have no need to get the confirmations, we'll script this soon enough, but many people like replying (in private, or onlist) as notes to themselves that they've finished :)

Hi Hannes,

Maybe an idea to mention on the mailing list if you want people to confirm that they've updated the configuration or if you will test/detect it without a mail.

NL1.php.net now has this setting done.

PS: What page do you want to show up on europe.rsync.php.net, it is now an alias for NL1.php.net. On request I can change this.

Regards, Mark
