onion.perl.org; the primary perl.org server is going to move datacenter sometime early Thursday afternoon pacific time. The kind people at ValueClick are taking care of moving it really fast, so the downtime will hopefully be less than an hour, plus a bit of time to coordinate DNS updates. onion is hosting perl.org and cpan.org mail, most of the perl.org websites, nntp.perl.org and a bunch of other perl things.
In related news then I have been getting hardware from TicketMaster/CitySearch for the new perl.org infrastructure (as you can imagine then onion is getting a bit overloaded). Of course I managed to screw up the RedHat installation on the first box, and reboot the second box without sshd enabled. But if I don't do that too many more times then some of the services will start migrating shortly.
