I'd strongly recommend avoid touching /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf on every SoaS. > Using the DNS seems problematic, probably due to my lack on knowledge. The changes are trivial -- a list of ~8 names need to resolve to the XS's "internal" address. DNS can be complicated, but this is completely trivial. Get those names added to the existing DNS server, and you're sorted. > If we do that we need to defer to the network DNS for everything > except the schoolserver hostname.
