You don't really need this. Use your existing DNS server. All that is

Talk to the maintainers of kanin.arnes.si and ns.elsis.si. These are
your DNS servers. We don't require that much:


ns.elsis.si==ns.vsr.si==kasica.elsis.si==www.vsr.si==www.elsis.si where I'm the administrator.

Ah yes I see the net blocks have you individually as the admin contact so you "own" the range it seems.


kasica.elsis.si is our common DNS and mail and internet server for Elsis and Vsr . It's an old Celeron 433 and has only one NIC on the motherboard and lacks PCI bus. I allready have a replacement machine for it and intend to replace it by the end of this month (to the same IP).

Due to the relatively high traffic on the www.vsr.si/ecos I think it would be much better to have an eCos dedicated server here. Besides the internet test server, the CVS docs can reside there.

Note the CVS docs will be up on the web for 2.0! And as discussed in private mail, I have every intention of bringing down that traffic ;-).


A dedicated server also means that we can furher extend it's functionality in future (anything non commercial regarding eCos can reside there). That also means the server can be maintained by the eCos maintainers themselves, besides me (at least when I'm on a leave).

That sounds useful! At the very minimum, an official mirror site would be good.... with the new 2.0 installer mirror sites become more relevant as you'll see.


But definitely hosting a DNS "test" domain on a known IP. Perhaps we'll wait till you've got stability in your network (including changing any IPs) before doing anything.
