Good afternoon Wise Advisory Folks! We want to retire one of our 2 existing frontier-squid servers (which happens to be a VM) & add its function to an existing real-hardware server that has 'spare capacity' to do this function; but we're figuring to just setup the old name as a DNS alias to the server taking over this function. (since the name is embedded in clients that use it a squid) We know the existing frontier-squid is monitored, & is in the GOC-DB for our site. So we'd change the IP address registered for the squid server in GOC-DB, but hope that ensuring the DNS alias of the old name does resolve to a valid live frontier-squid server (just with a different real name) would work / be fine / etc for GOC-DB, & for squid monitoring. Do you Wise Advisory Folks think this would work / be ok? Do other sites do this (or something like it) too & it works ok? Grateful for advice!
