Why not just serve the images from images.wikipedia.org (which I imagine would resolve to the database machine for the moment). Am I missing some key point that makes something fancier necessary?
images.wikimedia.org would be better since it would be usable by all Wikimedia projects.
Which reminds me: Why hasn't this list been moved to wikitech-l@wikimedia.org yet? Wikipedia-l has been... For that matter mail.wikipedia.org, download.wikipedia.org, test.wikipedia.org and meta.wikipedia.org should also be moved to the wikimedia.org domain.
And before anybody mentions that I could move it, please consider pointing me to some tutorials on how to do it and then give me the necessary developer access. I wouldn't mind doing some of the more mundane development tasks to free up some time for the real developers, but I really should know what I'm doing first. ;)

Hmm, well, it is going to be usable by all Wikimedia projects no matter what we call it.

I don't really object, but just note that these moves have been done without my conscious knowledge or support or opposition. I'm not really clear on what the point is, actually.
It does make sense to me that stuff having to do primarily with wikipedia, such as wikipedia-l for example, should be on wikipedia.org, while stuff having to do with the foundation as a whole, encompassing more than just the flagship encyclopedia, should be on wikimedia, like the legal mailing list, etc.
Is there any reason why we should move *all* the mailing lists to wikimedia?
Both addresses work, so in reality does it make any difference?

The only practical difference atm is that wikipedia.org is still missing the backup MX record, so if pliny is down mail sent to wikipedia.org addresses won't go through until it gets resent when pliny is back up, hours later.
wikipedia.org. 3600 IN MX 10 pliny.wikipedia.org.
wikimedia.org. 86400 IN MX 10 mail.wikipedia.org. wikimedia.org. 86400 IN MX 50 mormo.org.
