NDPF GS environment

The Grid Services environment

The "Grid Service" environment contains nodes and virtual machines that run special or dedicated services that are not under regular (Quattor) control. They live on a separate network (194.171.96.64/28). The following services are provided:

on host beerput.nikhef.nl as a standard virtual web site, aliases www.dutchgrid.(com,net,org)

Web site www.biggrid.nl

on host beerput.nikhef.nl as a standard virtual web site (both plain and SSL). Note that the main page http://www.biggrid.nl/ is redirected in the site-local httpd.conf file to point to http://www.nikhef.nl/grid/biggrid, but that the /twiki link is actually hosted there, and contains some magic in the conf file for client-side authentication

Web site www.eugridpma.org
