I've simplified this code - a lot - so that it has a better chance to
work in different infrastructures. Now, it does depend on a local
"schoolserver" A or CNAME record. Emiliano, are the school servers in
Uy running a local BIND or other DNS server? Can you provide a
"split-horizon dns" name resolution there so they all get a few magic
CNAMEs pointing to their local XS?

cheers,
