[Server-devel] olpc-update and split-horizon dns

Hi Scott,

If the lease server proper is not in use (for XOs with very long
leases), olpc-update will never use the local school server.

Talking to Wad earlier today, he mentioned that at one stage using a
split horizon DNS that masks updates.laptop.org was part of the plan.
It's trivial for me to do - will it break any assumptions?

(And the curious question: will olpc-update read updates blindly from
anyone calling itself updates.laptop.org? I'm assuming it checks sigs
on contents beforehand anyway.)

cheers,


martin
