1515259 - Remove build.mozilla.org from VPN DNS search path

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: Infrastructure: OpenVPN, task, P5)

Description

[Greg Cox [:gcox]]

build.mozilla.org was added to the domain search path for VPN clients back in bug 870792.  The contents of build.m.o now are mostly (95%+) CNAMEs, and mostly (60%+) pointing to scl3 hosts.  It feels like it's not a useful search domain, and I asked :nthomas for a brainpick.

:nthomas asked around and reported back, "There were no objections to removing the build.m.o search domain from releng, relops or ciduty; actually a couple of enthusiastic "yes please" comments."

As such, I'm going to remove it and free up a search slot, barring an objection here.

Because of Christmas/New Years timing, I am holding off on this change until 2019-01-07, 1700 UTC, (after most people are back && before we're too deep in the 65 release).

Landed in puppet repo as change c64a3cfbcdaad39283f9eb5eebab69547bbd2bec. No service restart needed as it's part of the client connection. Worked as intended when I reconnected. At this point, it's the waiting game of finding out if anyone was relying upon it.

Going ahead and closing this as working-as-intended, and we'll deal with any fallout that crops up.
