re: Dynamic DNS - if the IP in question doesn't change you don't need the
dynamic part. You would just need a normal DNS record that is set once.
But having said that, with https-only web nowadays you would create
certificate warnings for users and that would be an actual problem.
Theoretically the real fix would be to get your domain name transferred to
WMF and get it added to Horizon.

Here is the Phab task for the floating IP request:

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:
1) Is there community support for granting this project a static IP to
facilitate
this access?
2) 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
