No, I wasn't making myself clear: I was asking if we could adjust the entries
of the haiku-os.net domain to point to the new servers completely, such that
we would have www.haiku-os.net, svn.haiku-os.net and dev.haiku-os.net
resolving to IP addresses of the new server.
This way, we could setup the new webservers to match the (host-)names of the
existing haiku-os.org servers. At a later stage, when we transfer
haiku-os.org, we'd just have to add the .org domain on top.
This would avoid having to add temporary entries to the haiku-os.org domain.

Ah, I have no concerns about controlling the DNS myself - I simply didn't
know that we as a group control the DNS already. I was assuming our current
hoster would do so.

Agreed.
