Move DNS for TDWG.org to a cloud provider #67
Comments
Yes, I think that would be fine with us. Would there be a cost associated Also, please note that I think my former institution (calacademy.org) was On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 5:30 AM, Matt Blissett notifications@github.com

Thanks. I think the cost is so small it won't be worth the administration, we expect it to be something like $6 per year. The Natural History Museum (London) is hosting a DNS mirror for TDWG. I'll let them know once we've moved and thoroughly tested everything. (Calacademy.org is already using Amazon DNS. How's that for a recommendation? :-) ) |
Hi Stan, We've moved GBIF.org's DNS to Amazon, and all looks to be working fine. It's much faster for users outside Europe, and a little faster for users in Europe but not in Denmark. Since you are the technical administrator for the tdwg.org domain, please could you update the name servers as follows:
If you let me know when it's done, I'll check everything is working correctly. I don't expect any interruption of service; we had no issues moving GBIF.org. Thanks. |
Hi Matt, I've entered the addresses above as our DNS servers for tdwg.org. We also have "LSID.info" as a domain name we serve. It is currently (not changed yet) pointing to the same servers we had used for tdwg.org; i.e., NS.TDWG.GBIF.ORG and MAILSERVER.NHM.AC.UK. Do you still have entries for that in your DNS? and can I go ahead and update the DNS servers for LSID.info? |
If we want to server the lsid domain still the tdwg apache virtual host must be reactivated and fixed, see #60 |
Did you see Rod Page's tweet yesterday: Roderic Page @rdmpage https://twitter.com/rdmpage Mar 8 Hey @tdwg https://twitter.com/tdwg what happened to the LSID resolver Was it really broken? While I would like LSIDs to be deprecated, it would On Wed, Mar 9, 2016 at 11:38 AM, Markus Döring notifications@github.com

http://lsid.tdwg.org looks like this: Anyway, it would be useful if http://lsid.tdwg.org was resurrected... |
Thanks for the feedback, Rod. Does anyone else have an LSID resolver running that we could point to On Wed, Mar 9, 2016 at 12:19 PM, Roderic Page notifications@github.com

I'm not aware of another public LSID resolver. I have a tester at http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/lsid but that's not set up as a simple resolver. Given that the TDWG resolver is mentioned in TDWG documents, e.g. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tdwg/guid-as/master/lsid/applicability_statement.doc should TDWG support the resolver? Maybe something like a Docker image could be created to make this service self-contained and easier to maintain. |
Please continue the LSID discussion on the LSID ticket #60 as the decision to run LSID is unrelated to the location of the DNS server. |
I'm closing this, since tdwg.org is correctly migrated to Amazon — thanks, Stan. lsid.info isn't doing anything at present. I'm not sure it was doing anything before — it points to a different IP than lsid.tdwg.org. If TDWG decide to run something using the domain we can change its DNS too. |
Hi,
We're planning on moving the DNS for GBIF.org (and our other domains) to a cloud provider, probably Amazon Route 53. This should provide faster DNS lookups since Amazon have servers around the world, and simplify maintenance — upgrading DNS server software is a chore.
Can we do the same with TDWG.org?
