ibiblio services/changes announcement list

[Don Sizemore <dls AT metalab.unc.edu>]

  Hi ibiblio-announce,

  This morning marks one full week with no crashes, so I feel comfortable 
pronouncing MySQLd on mysql2.ibiblio.org "fixed."  Finally.  To tidy up 
loose ends from this migration, we will be updating our DNS records to 
make things permanent.

  Those of you using the mysql2.ibiblio.org alias should remain 
unaffected.  Anyone explicitly calling gaffer.metalab.unc.edu will want to 
update their DB config settings to point to mysql2.ibiblio.org.

  A complete list of changes:

 o mysql2.ibiblio.org           CNAME   db2.ibiblio.org
 o db2.ibiblio.org              A       152.46.7.25
 o postgres2.ibiblio.org        CNAME   gaffer.metalab.unc.edu
 o gaffer.metalab.unc.edu       A       152.46.7.29

  We will request these changes from our campus DNS providers around 9:00 
a.m. EST, tomorrow morning.  If you are still explicitly referencing 
gaffer.metalab.unc.edu in your scripts, you may update them at any time 
today to call mysql2.ibiblio.org instead.

  As always, if this change poses an insurmountable difficulty, please 
drop a note to help AT ibiblio.org and we'll work something out.  Thank you 
for your patience as we tracked down a rather nasty bug, which turned out 
to be MySQLd's threading under 64-bit Linux.

  thank you,                                    919.962.5646 w
