Without this level of indirection, machines will be cemented in one place on a network. While MaaS doesn't want a machine to be a special snowflake, it doesn't want to require re-deploying everything just to change the routing on your network. DNS is still important even when you are the ones controlling the addresses. In fact, it should be a lot simpler to get right given that position. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maas-devel Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maas-devel More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
