Bugzilla Database Move

Bugzilla Database Move

[Alex Schuilenburg]

Hiya

I have just moved the eCos bugs database from fluffy to norbert.  While 
DNS updates propogate, people with old DNS records to 
bugs.ecos.sourceware.org and bugzilla.ecoscentric.com that end up at 
fluffy will be redirected www.ecoscentric.com/bugzilla.

People with current DNS records will notice only a substantial increase 
in reliability and speed.

FYI, norbert is our new rack server located very securely in Telehouse 
docklands, London, with reliable redundant high speed bandwidth, power 
supply etc etc etc.  Telehouse docklands is a colo that is home to 
servers such as the BBC.

Much more than that! It is essentially the de facto home of all UK ISPs - 
the London Internet Exchange, LINX. But our ISP is part of a peering group 
within Telehouse (one of many groups) that includes the BBC, which is, 
erm, quite well connected, including direct to LINX:

The resulting 13ms ping times from me to norbert is quite nice.
