Section 4.4.2 Web Server Alias Redirection Service
To minimise problems related to more than one alias
being associated with a Server and to keep record maintenance tasks to a
minimum, it is recommended that only one alias, the preferred alias, be
assigned to a Server.
However, as additional aliases
may be unavoidable (eg. to accommodate organisation unit name changes and
organisation restructure) it is recommended that a centrally-managed
redirection service should be implemented.
In such situations, the preferred
alias for a Server should be revised in the University’s DNS and the earlier
alias (or aliases), should be included in the redirection service.
In some cases, an alias may cease to be associated with a
Web Server. In these cases, if the Content has been relocated and a need for
continuity of service is identified, the Web Server Alias Redirection Service
should be used to redirect requests to an alternative Web Server alias.
Staff responsible for the
administration of MurdochNet shall be responsible for developing and
maintaining a Web Server Alias Redirection Service, and for liaising with other
staff as required.
