718784 - MCS needs access to the DNS editing of the child-domains

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Soumya Deb [:Debloper]]

We (MCS) got the mozilla-antarctica.org (710487), yay!

Now, to use this domain (and future community-domains) on the provided hosting, we need to edit/update it's DNS resource-records as required.

Presently MCS has no control over those domains, and can not forward them to desired hosting. Please resolve.

Do you have nameservers for this? Or do you want us to manage DNS?

For now, vps13934.ovh.net & sdns2.ovh.net are the NS we have - from the VPS that we're using temporarily to try-things-out. But, I'd actually look forward to a (more permanent) management policy, so that either:
1. IT is able to configure the settings as required, on demand by MCS.
2. Or, MCS manages the settings as required (if that's OK by IT).
3. Or, MCS and IT both are able to configure the settings as required.

Going by :XioNoX's timeline, this week we're going to have the dedicated server for MCS sites. It'll be best just to migrate the DNS also, along with it.

Let's go with 1. XioNoX and a bunch of others can do this pretty easily.

What's the IP you want the domain to point to?

this is in standby as long as we don't have the server.

Then we will need Shyam to change the root servers info of this domain to point to the Plesk server so both community and mozilla sysadmins will be able to manage it.

Okay, could you switch mozilla-antarctica.org to use:
    ns1.mediatemple.net
    ns2.mediatemple.net
as nameservers.

Thanks!

Done.  This will take effect on the root nameservers within 15 minutes, however there is a 12 hour TTL on root nameserver records, so it could be up to 24 hours for anyone who already has it cached to pick up the new servers.
