Subdomains: Make beta the new www

See original GitHub issue

Progress on legacy redirects in #13.

  • Add an A record to the DNS for the legacy subdomain to resolve to the legacy web server
  • Add support for the legacy subdomain in the legacy web server’s nginx and apache configs
  • Add SSL cert for the legacy subdomain
  • Modify the beta server’s 404 page to suggest the same URL on the legacy subdomain
  • Replace the @ and www DNS A records to CNAME records, resolving to the new (beta) App Engine server at ghs.googlehosted.com
    • do this 4+ hours prior to launch to ensure that it propagates to DNS caches
  • Update all internal links to avoid 404s
    • eg stats/trends links on the forum

DNS settings:

  • A 216.239.32.21
  • A 216.239.34.21
  • A 216.239.36.21
  • A 216.239.38.21
  • AAAA 2001:4860:4802:32::15
  • AAAA 2001:4860:4802:34::15
  • AAAA 2001:4860:4802:36::15
  • AAAA 2001:4860:4802:38::15
  • CNAME ghs.googlehosted.com (www)

No harm in keeping existing configuration — it’s a noop.
