Jeremy & Lisa this is in your court ...
I think this is what we need to do:
Can we CNAME origin-earthquake.usgs.gov
to
origin-earthquake.level3.magic-hostname.net
which would wellness check across:
ehp1-earthquake.cr.usgs.gov
ehp2-earthquake.wr.usgs.gov
ehp3-earthquake.gps.caltech.edu
ehp4-earthquake.cr.usgs.gov
which would all resolve to earthquake.usgs.gov

Hi Lorna,
Any more information on this? We can be available for a quick call to

I guess we need to figure this out quickly: origin-www.usgs.gov is a
CNAME to an Akamai identity which then incorporates wellness checking
against 9 USGS NatWeb Web servers. I'm guessing we should be able to do
something like this for the earthquake sites. We'll have to let Jeremy
speak up on this.

RE: notes with questions and action responses
Lorna,
For the Origin Servers below, Each Supername can only cache fill from a
single Origin hostname. It is not possible to fill from multiple
hostnames has you have below.
For example: www.usgs.gov the origin hostname is origin-www.usgs.gov this
will work fine.
The rest have multiple origin names, where as each supername can only have
one origin hostname to fill from.

Dan is updating the gs_level3 at usgs.gov
working with Libby to make sure that the Level 3 folks are in our mail
alias.
Lisa Wald sent the Earthquake alias.
ACTION: get hostnames and source servers
CDN hostnames and
origin servers:
www.usgs.gov
origin-www.usgs.gov
earthquake.usgs.gov
ehp1-earthquake.cr.usgs.gov
ehp2-earthquake.wr.usgs.gov
ehp3-earthquake.gps.caltech.edu
ehp4-earthquake.cr.usgs.gov
quake.usgs.gov
ncweb-north.wr.usgs.gov
ncweb-den.cr.usgs.gov
ncweb-east.er.usgs.gov
neic.usgs.gov
neic.cr.usgs.gov
For testing we need
test-www.usgs.gov
test-earthquake.usgs.gov
test-quake.usgs.gov
test-neic.usgs.gov
To test the DNS split for Intranet and public users, we need to have
another test CDN host
level3.natweb.usgs.gov that points to
level3-origin.natweb.usgs.gov
In our internal DNS .usgs.gov users will go to
level3-origin.natweb.usgs.gov and public DNS will go to the level 3 CNAME
(provided by Mark D?Amore @ Level 3).
*****************
Create a test hostname & content page for us to CNAME to Level 3.
Gs help dns:
1. origin-www.usgs.gov is www.usgs.gov
2. supername -- test-www.usgs.gov
Ø Need the alias name for Level 3
CCD ? Customer Commit Date is now set to Monday
Apache SSI ? compare incoming hostname to some text. Edge side include is
what we?re looking for?
Logic based programming available
Can have two copies of the pages that have those internal links.
Geoblocking or allowing content based on country code.
Look at the referrer header
Whole site caching vs. object caching
Image.www.usgs.gov would house all the images that the pages needs to put
the page together.
USGS ACTION: Test
Using DNS to have all ?usgs.gov? machines directed to origin-www.usgs.gov
and public would go to www.usgs.gov
Access to USGS networks by Level 3 wellness testing and caching systems
Need to further discuss the requirement to have a known set of Level3
servers allowed into the USGS network. Either ip subnets or a known
number of servers.
Content Freshness
Default TTL is one year. They do honor cache control headers to manage
the TTL.
Purging content method?
Ø Use the portal or an API cgi that you use.
Are there query strings that generate unique per visitor parameters.
Passing a session ID? If yes, there is a workaround to optimize the
caching of that content.
Portal Management
1 super user and then they will set up user accounts within USGS.
Properties = EQ, www.usgs.gov, DNS
