Here is the Phab task for the floating IP request: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T300750. Declining to grant a floating IP in this case is in line with how WMCS generally handles floating IPs in my experience, and the reasons given are valid.

VideoWiki is a project of WikiProjectMed aimed at disseminating wikipedia content visually, rather than textually, by generating a video from the text and images of a wiki page. It is currently deployed at https://videowiki.wmcloud.org. (It is not fully operational yet.)
We asked for a static IP address to access it from videowiki.org, but were denied. So I have two questions:
Is there community support for granting this project a static IP to facilitate this access?
If not, is there a recommended way to use dynamic dns, such as noip, to cause videowiki.org to resolve as videowiki.wmcloud.org? I think most dyndns clients assume the IP of the host is the target rather than a proxy, though I suppose the proxy could be pinged and that address supplied periodically to the dyndns service.
Any help would be appreciated,
Tim
