Hmm, not sure. Basically, I have entries in resin.xml on machine
"tycho.latencyzero.com" like this:
<host host-name="latencyzero.com"
root-directory="/lz/var/www/com/latencyzero">
<host-alias-regexp>^tycho.latencyzero.com[\.]?$</host-alias-regexp>
<host-alias-regexp>^(www\.)?latencyzero.com[\.]?$</host-alias-regexp>
<web-app id="/" document-directory="www"></webapp>
</host>
<host id="comics\.roderickmann\.org\.?"
root-directory="/lz/var/www/org/roderickmann/comics">
<host-name>comics.roderickmann.org</host-name>
<web-app id="/" document-directory="."></webapp>
</host>
<host host-name="www.roderickmann.org"
root-directory="/lz/var/www/org/roderickmann/www">
<host-alias-regexp>^(www\.)?roderickmann.org[\.]?$</host-alias-regexp>
<host-alias-regexp>^(www\.)?rickmann.org[\.]?$</host-alias-regexp>
<web-app id="/" document-directory="."></webapp>
</host>
<host host-name="mgfb.roderickmann.org"
root-directory="/lz/var/www/org/roderickmann/mgfb">
<host-alias-regexp>^mgfb\.roderickmann.org[\.]?$</host-alias-regexp>
<host-alias-regexp>^blog\.roderickmann.org[\.]?$</host-alias-regexp>
<web-app id="/" document-directory="."></webapp>
</host>
I have DNS entries for all of the above that are all CNAMEs to
tycho.latencyzero.com.
I want to move all of those apps to a new machine (upgrading hardware and OS),
but I want to test it first. The machine is called stage.latencyzero.com, and I
need to make new DNS entries for each webapp (perhaps adding "stage" to each
name, or something). The most straightforward thing would be simply to modify
each name to add "stage" to them, but then when I decide to make the new
machine permanent, and change all the old DNS entries to point to the new IP
address, I'd have to modify the entries.
Or I could simply add host-aliases for all the new names.
But I was hoping there'd be a trick so that I only have to modify one line, and
each of the host entries would pick it up. I realize that might require me to
modify all the entries once (as you did with your redirects). But once I do
this once, it should work for similar changes in the future.
One thing I need to preserve: if I'm hitting one of my webapps through the new
name (e.g. "stage.mgfb.roderickmann.org" or whatever), when code in the webapp
uses the host name to render URIs, it needs to use that same hostname, so that
links point to the right place, and not back to the old instance.
All this discussion, of course, has taken longer than it would have to simply
modify the entries a couple times, but I was curious.
Thanks,
Rick
