for<BR>the new server and many of the suggestions (including nodexxx
domain<BR>redirects) made over the last 12 months have been already
been<BR>implemented.<BR>We now own the melbournewireless.org.au domain, and our
intention is to<BR>use this as the primary domain on the new server.<BR>All of
our mailing lists will also be moved over to the new server as<BR>part of the

Re: [MLB-WIRELESS] node names - conventions and sub
domains<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm probably the best person to answer this at
this point....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The current wireless.org.au (w.o.a) was set up
very quickly - by three people working on it at the same time, and completed
overnight. This was because of a hardware failure, and we had no presence. We
had to compromise flexibility for a quick turnaround.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Back then, MW was hosted on w.o.a - but for both
political and functionality reasons, MW was moved to melbourne.w.o.a.. w.o.a
is kind of in limbo at this point until the server is replaced with Evolution
4.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Evolution 4 is the 4th complete rebuild of the
w.o.a server since version 1 back in 2000... E4 will have new hardware (and we
may need some help obtaining a few items - specifically 2 x new 80Gb hdd's,
raid card etc) but will be based on a dual P3 800, probably 1Gb of RAM... This
should keep up with requirements for the forseeable future.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the software side, the security will be
greatly improved, as well as runing latest versions of everything. All groups
will be on their location.w.o.a url, as well as generic mailing lists such as
<A href="mailto:list@melbourne.w.o.a">list@melbourne.w.o.a</A>, <A
href="mailto:list@geelong.w.o.a">list@geelong.w.o.a</A> etc etc. This will
hopefully make thing much simpler for both existing groups, and new groups to
use the services of w.o.a...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for using nodexxx.w.o.a, under the future
plans, it will not be possible to do this, as it is not group specific... it
may happen later down the track as nodexxx.melbourne.w.o.a, but I can't
confirm anything at this stage.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=388432623-31102003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was wondering
why since the naming convention for node is nodeXXX.wireless.org.au or
XXX.wireless.org.au (XXX=node ID) then why not make the sub domain link to a
web page on the Melbwireless web site. For example, the address
XXX.wireless.org.au could link to the wiki page for that node. Or at least
make that sub domain available for the node owner for
uploading/editing.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=388432623-31102003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this
possible. I don't see that it would be to hard to add the sub domains or is
there a policy against this.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
