Sorry I didn't reply to all this sooner, been pretty busy :-P
(Thanks guys for changing the hosts over - looks fine now)
To clarify what is hosted where now,
203.17.15.167 hosts only one javAPRSsrvr application (third.aprs.net.au)
203.220.0.74 hosts only one javAPRSsrvr application (aprs.net.au)
210.193.156.78 hosts only one javAPRSsrvr application (second.aprs.net.au)
203.194.26.237 hosts only the web pages (all of them)
MX goes to radio-active.net.au
The confusion seems to be between "aprs.net.au" and "www.aprs.net.au".
Perhaps to avoid confusion next time we should change aprs.net.au to
FIRST.aprs.net.au (following the same standard as the core)
If we introduced this as a CNAME record for a few months and get people
used
to using it, we could phase out aprs.net.au, or better still alias it via
CNAME to www.aprs.net.au. This way all the web sites are 'standard' and
work
both with and without the www prefix.
What are your thoughts on this one??
I'm still miffed by everyone who 'assumes' that a web site must start with
www, but then........
Cheers,
Geoff
