Yeah, the new thing looks cool. The thing I am missing is that with the sql-* aliases we have more aliases than servers, which seems kinda pointless.

Hi,
If I understand correctly, the new names are simply aliases that point to either Zedler or Yarrow.
For example, the following all refer to the same physical server:
- zedler
- sql
- sql-s2
- commonswiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
- enwiktionary-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
As do these:
- yarrow
- sql-s1
- sql-s3
- enwiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
- jawiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
It's just a case of how we refer to them in our code. (IMHO I like the new database-specific aliases)
Cheers,

Hello,
I am becoming confused with these three sql hosts. I thought we only had zedler and the new one as sql hosts?
Clarification appreciated; thanks.

hello,
it's now possible to connect to a database server using names of the form <database>-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org, for example:
enwiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org roa-rupwiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
these resolve to the database server holding that database. the sql-s* aliases still work as well.
