Tinkering with the DNS for docbook.org

Hi folks, I really need to get cdn.docbook.org available by https. It’s currently hosted by github.com as a custom domain and they don’t do SSL for custom domains. I don’t want to change the process for publishing to cdn.docbook.org dramatically. That limits the options. Near as I can tell, the only way to do this and stay on github.io is with some kind of proxy via cloudfare. Fair enough, I guess. That means changing the nameservers for docbook.org and that could cause disruption. At the very least, I’ll have to work out how to configure the DNS again and there’s a chance I’ll screw it up on my first try. Rather than just randomly break things on a Monday evening :-), I’ll plan to make this change next weekend. Comments and suggestions most welcome, of course.
