Any department/faculty that needs to register (sub)domain names on the HKU network should submit the form CF60 " Application for Host Computer Node/Sub-Domain Name" via HKU Portal => Campus Information Services => Central IT Service => Apply for Facilities/Services.
The form must be filled in by a staff member with a department webmaster account (eform CF106).
Our current registered domains are:
hpc.radiology.hku.hk
-> 147.8.183.171 (storage1
)
Subdomain delegation
Each department can only apply for a maximum of 5 sub-domain names from ITS. For departments who wish to apply for more than 5, they have to set up their own Domain Name Server (DNS) and maintain their sub-domain names. The domain name of the DNS will be hostname.department.hku.hk
, e.g. dns.radiology.hku.hk
. This will allow them to resolve all tier 4 domains, e.g. using the previous example: *.radiology.hku.hk
.
Reverse proxying is easier using domains. Using reverse proxying based on symmetric pathing requires services to have unique paths, i.e. services can't all host on /
.
