Re: [Denyhosts-user] Sync Server moved to a new provider

[Phil S. <phi...@us...>]

Yes, the configuration in the DenyHosts configuration file points to:

xmlrpc.denyhosts.net

I had updated the DNS entry to point to the new host.  It was surprising 
that as soon as I updated the DNS requests started hitting the new server 
and was handling the majority of the requests in the first 5 minutes of 
the change.  I would've thought the propagation would have taken longer. 
Today, there are still a handful of requests hitting the old address but 
the address is setup to forward data to the new site so it's seemless from 
a client perspective.  In the next week or so I'll shutdown the old host 
for good.

Reagards,

Phil
