It wasn't - so I already updated the DNS in webfaction to point
svn.haiku-os.org there (and Oliver tested this while I was chatting
with him in IRC).

I think it would be OK to test everything with an alternate domain if
it's convenient... as long as there are no hardcoded references to
haiku-os.net anywhere ;)
But we can also easily setup test subdomains as you suggest.

I agree, and I also think we should have someone in Europe with access
to our Godaddy account in the event that emergency maintenance is
needed. I would probably suggest Axel as he is currently on the Haiku,
Inc. team anyhow.
If we want to separate the duties further (for security reasons), and
have DNS hosted outside of Godaddy for the domains that need to be
maintained, I would be OK with that. Should we considering setting up
DNS on our new server? or should we seek a good alternative DNS
provider?
Hopefully the changes to DNS are somewhat rare...
