[sword-devel] Xiphos remote source down?

[Karl Kleinpaste]

The remote VPN endpoint that has provided my home server's (as
ftp.xiphos.org's) external visibility for roughly 2 decades completely
failed last weekend.  It was finally determined yesterday that that node
will not come back.  So I worked out the necessary dynamic DNS and other
matters needed so that it can be seen again without the VPN.  As soon as
the DNS A RR is updated, ftp.xiphos.org will be visible again.

As a stopgap, you can adjust your setting to use host
karlkleinpaste.ddns.net.  Simon Meers handles DNS for xiphos.org as a
whole, and I've sent him a request to replace the old A RR with a CNAME
RR as the solution to this problem.

Regrets for this disconnect, but obviously this level of total failure
wasn't anticipated.
