This was mainly due to +the fact we didn't want to mess up the existing zone while experimenting +with GeoDNS. + +Now that our GeoDNS setup has been working for more than half a year +without any problems, we will drop this zone. + +We will do that in two phases. + +## Phase 1 +Beginning on July 1st, we will redirect all requests to +security.geo.debian.org to a static webpage indicating that +this subzone is deprecated and should not be used any more. If you +still have security.geo.debian.org in your apt sources.list, updates +will fail. + +## Phase 2 +On August 1st, we will stop serving the subzone +security.geo.debian.org from our DNS servers. + +## Conclusion +In case you use a security.geo.debian.org entry in your +/etc/apt/sources.list, now is the best time to change that +entry to security.debian.org. Both zones currently serve +the same content. -- 2.20.1
