[mirror-admin] MM & dynamic DNS behind NAT?

[Matt_Domsch at Dell.com]

I haven't had a chance to roll out the "fixed" MM that lets you insert
DNS names via the web interface.

For today, I can manually insert a record for you if you need.  Just let
me know which Host and DNS name.

Thanks,
Matt

I wanted to try this out, I created a new mirror host with a dynamic DNS
hostname and when I try to add the same name as a "Site-local Netblock"
it returns with "Error: entity already exists".

It looks like the name of the mirror host and the DNS entry in the
netblocks share the same db space. Is this an error on my side (e.g.
should I name the host something nonexisting to not collide with the
host data in the netblock field)?

Thanks!
