OpenStreetMap DNS
======================================
-This repository contains the DNS zonefiles and related code for managing OpenStreetMap.org and other domains. A full list of the managed domains available in [Makefile](Makefile).

-The authoritative DNS nameservers we use are kindly run by [Bytemark](https://docs.bytemark.co.uk/article/content-dns/). We would like to thank [Bytemark](https://www.bytemark.co.uk/) for their many years of support.

## Standard DNS Zone Files
-The [zone files](src/) are templated [tinydns-data](http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tinydns-data.html) syntax and are written out by the [Makefile](Makefile).

-On commit of a DNS update, a git [post-receive](https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/blob/master/cookbooks/dns/files/default/post-receive) runs `make update` via a [script](https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/blob/master/cookbooks/dns/templates/default/dns-update.erb`) which then pushes the updated zonefiles to the authoritative DNS nameservers.

## GeoDNS Zones
### tile.openstreetmap.org (mkgeo Generated)
-The `tile.openstreetmap.org` and `[a|b|c].tile.openstreetmap.org` are CNAME'ed to `tile.geo.openstreetmap.org` zone.
+The `tile.openstreetmap.org` and `[a|b|c].tile.openstreetmap.org` are CNAME'ed to the `tile.geo.openstreetmap.org` zone.
The `tile.openstreetmap.org` zone file is written by [mkgeo](bin/mkgeo) which attempts to match the [estimated country bandwidth requirements](bandwidth/tile.openstreetmap.yml) to the nearest [running](https://uptime.openstreetmap.org/) [tile cache server](src/tile.openstreetmap) with available capacity.
