[AG-TECH] Portal node listings ...

[Derek Piper]

	In looking at the node listings it made me think about the multicast 
beacons again. I thought it might be worth pointing out to those on this 
list that manage a beacon but are not on the beacon mailing list that 
the current version 1.1 of the multicast beacon is going to be retired 
next week (7th). With the 1.3 software, now released, the main live 
beacon server will then just be jhereg.ncsa.uiuc.edu as per the new 
default config. It has to be that hostname since the newer beacon 
software doesn't work with CNAMEs for some reason that's being looking 
into. The website aliases and links on the AGcentral page will still 
work of course.
	You can get the new beacon here: http://dast.nlanr.net/projects/beacon/

	Just thought I'd pass that on.
