[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-8805) Alias for svn.eu.a.o in *.a.o domain

["Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-8805?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14275959#comment-14275959 ] 

Sebb commented on INFRA-8805:
-----------------------------

I realise that svn.a.o is the "correct" solution, however when the us host failed recenty, the redirection did not work, so the only solution for read-only access was to use a hostname that did not have a valid certificate. Not ideal.

I don't know how much work or expense would be involved in setting it up, but it seems unlikely to be a huge amount, for a considerable benefit in emergencies.

> The svn.(eu|us).apache.org hosts use *.apache.org certificates.
> However wildcard host names only match one level down.
> This means it's awkward to use the hosts directly (which can sometimes be useful).
> There is already a DNS entry which resolves to the US host: svn-master.a.o
> It would be helpful to have one for the EU slave.
> Perhaps also consider replacing svn.eu|us with svn-eu|us?
