DNS Stuff Proposal

[Ken Smith]

That was great!  :-)

I especially like the solution of creating hostmaster.<cc>.freebsd.org
and pointing it to the central admins if the <cc>.freebsd.org isn't
strong enough to handle DNS on their own.  It's not quite as simple
as "send to hostmaster at freebsd.org no matter what you want" but it's
definitely the next best thing and it eliminates the variability.

Just one question so far.  In your examples is Chris viewed as the
coordinator of the FTP mirror sites, or is he the coordinator of
DNS, or is he coordinator of everything (dns, ftp, cvsup, and www)?
I sort of figured there would be four different people coordinating
those four different things but I was guessing that was needed, I
wasn't sure if one person could do all of them.  And I figured they
needed to be coordinated on a global basis (even if they're managed
at a regional level, if that makes any sense...) if things like a
sane tiering system for FTP sites is to be done, or Murray's stats
collection, etc.  I figured the cvsup and www services would have
similar-but-different issues they face, they'd have their own equivalent
of hubs@, and they'd coordinate themselves separate from the ftp sites.
