[UCIMC-Tech] networking for WRFU streaming - public-facing IP? socket? + wrfu.net domain

[Stuart Levy]

Hello again,

For WRFU streaming, there are some networking needs - hope not difficult:

    * if we put the streaming machine in the office, it needs a live 
ethernet jack.   There's a block of four jacks in the office's northwest 
corner.   Three are live, the fourth is unused and currently shows no link:

    port "1", is available but not currently live.
    one (blue wire) feeds the automation computer (in the office)
    one (gray wire) goes through the wall to feed a 4-port switch in the
    studio.   DHCP on switch ports gives a net-192.168 address.
    another (blue wire) goes through wall to a spare wire on studio
    floor - maybe for people with laptops etc.   DHCP gives a net-10
    address.

   * The server needs a public-facing IP address and DNS name.

    Is this (imc-tech) the place to ask for an IP assignment / routing
    from some specific jack?

   *   WRFU.NET needs to get back on the map.   So:

    1) Who administers the WRFU.NET domain?   (It's currently valid,
    held by Joker.com, expiring on Feb 3rd, with no IP address
    assignments.)   It would be natural for people to look there, as
    well as on ucimc.org itself, to find the station.

    If a DNS entry gets assigned for the streaming server's assigned IP,
    then how about a name like "stream.wrfu.net" for that?

    2) There should be a WRFU.NET / WWW.WRFU.NET web page with a blurb
    about the station, a link to the IMC, and a "WRFU Stream" button.
    This could be hosted on the streaming server itself, or elsewhere
    (on the ucimc.org server?), whichever makes sense.

    3) In short I think there should be at least these entries in the
    wrfu.net domain:
        WRFU.NET (zone and A record)
        WWW.WRFU.NET (another A record or a CNAME)
        STREAM.WRFU.NET (another A record or a CNAME)
