Re: a new domain for the LuaForge mirror

[Fernando P. García <fernando@...>]

OK, mixing both solutions will work also, I mean:

A IP SRV1
A IP SRV2
A IP subdomain-SRV2

So, the SRV2 is ~always available via the subdomain, and also brings support for SRV1

Blessings!

There should be multiple DNS servers, though. I remember the nameserver being down during the outage.

What about Round Robin DNS?

I mean to have 2 A records :), EveryDNS supports it AFAIK

Then if the main site goes down, every second request (on average) will
time out. I think the point is to choose a different site if you cannot
connect to the main site. So you should be able to choose which server
you want to connect to.
