All of the servers in the redhat datacenter have a private backnet. We constantly have problems with ldap updates for servers in the canonical facility (hello progress.gnome.org) which a backnet would help with. It would allow 1 configuration for more and more of the servers vs crazy firewall rules and tunnels and nonstandard things. I owe owen a "plan of action" document to send to redhat IS for them to approve before we really move forward with this. > The first thing is - what do we want to do with Combobox? > > We have a couple open bugs to move some infrastructure to it's own VM: > > Combobox > ∘ What VMs should live on Combobox? > ∘ master.gnome.org (bgo 613033) > ∘ Snowy > ∘ blogs.gnome.org (bgo 609717) (Jeff would like to see this as an Ubuntu > VM) Jeff being Jeff Waugh aka jdub :) > ∘ Old servers / out of contract > > As far as the last bullet, once we know what we want on Combobox, we > need to review the other servers as a number of them are out of their > support contract.
