... pointing at dp-ausstage01.phx.mozilla.com. Or some modern naming scheme you prefer instead, as long as it's not modifying aus2-staging.m.o. Thanks.

Hm, let's figure out what the right hostname is - how will you be using this?  Is this a hostname to go in the build configs, or to use for testing, or.. ?

Mostly it will be used by the RelEng machines to upload update snippets onto the NFS mount (via the buildconfigs), but I'm also planning to set up a staging instance of the PHP code so that we can test changes prior to production. The latter won't be externally visible so the internal IP is fine. This mimics the current situation with aus2-staging.m.o and dm-ausstage01.

Well, aus2-stagin.m.o -> aus3-staging.m.o doesn't really capture the "just in a different DC", but it does satisfy
 * different name for parallel operation; and
 * correct name for ffx4 and higher
so I say let's do it.

I've added the CNAME, but as you noted dp-ausstage01.phx.mozilla.com is only available internally, which is *not* the same as aus2-staging.m.o.

+aus3-staging   IN CNAME    dp-ausstage01.phx.mozilla.com.

Thanks. FWIW the external IP for aus2-staging doesn't actually connect you to a working update server. http redirects to http://hardhat.mozilla.net and https gives apache permission errors. That's not impacted anyone and the external record can go away at some point.

This doesn't appear to be working:

[cltbld@linux-ix-slave30 .ssh]$ host dp-ausstage01.phx.mozilla.com
dp-ausstage01.phx.mozilla.com has address 10.8.74.30
[cltbld@linux-ix-slave30 .ssh]$ host aus3-staging.mozilla.org
Host aus3-staging.mozilla.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Oh, I added the CNAME to the external view, while the A record is only in the internal view.  So neither works :)

I moved it to common, so it should be working shortly.  Re-open if not.
