Some day, certain virtual hosts (e.g., www.uoregon.edu) may be carved off from DARKWING proper and placed on a second machine. To prepare for this eventuality, it's important that you pay attention to your URL syntax.
If you're creating web pages under a public_html directory on DARKWING, be sure to use darkwing.uoregon.edu in your URL instead of a virtual host name such as www.uoregon.edu (e.g., use http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~joelja instead of http://www.uoregon.edu/~joelja). This ensures that your address will always be accessible, regardless of what machine changes go on behind the scenes.
We will attempt to contact users whose web pages include URLs pointing at virtual hosts. If you have any questions about constructing your URL, please send email to our large system consultants at consult@darkwing.uoregon.edu
