That may in fact be the right thing to do in this case, since the
new hardware (actually a pair of boxes configured for failover)
will use the hostname "galaxy". I would like to use the "logical"
naming for other purposes, so I am going to continue with it for
now just to get it under my fingers.

We are doing that, but only because it looked right, not because I
was sure it was the right thing. Thank you for validating it!

Fortunately for me, we do not publish SLO endpoints.

All very helpful info. Thank you!
