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:

Services

Web site www.dutchgrid.nl
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 internal.vl-e.nl
on host beerput.nikhef.nl as a standard virtual web site
Web site www.eugridpma.org
on host beerput.nikhef.nl as a virtual web site with it's own IP address (aliases are www.eugridpma.info and www.gridpma.eu). This is the PHP enabled web site with the agenda and such: note that the distribution server advertised to the public is https://dist.eugridpma.info/, although this site does contain a local (unreachable) copy of this as well. This sites runs with a separate host certificate, issues by the GlobalSign SureServer EDU CA
VO LDAP service grid-vo.nikhef.nl
