Dragonfly network changes

Various DragonFly machines are now running on a much faster network
thanks to AT&T u-verse, and despite utterly horrid disaster that
at&t's little router box is I am slowly managing to thrash it into
shape.
Our main web site is now on the new network (www, gitweb, wiki,
and bugs).
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/
Developer access to leaf via the new network will work if you
use 'leaf-uv.dragonflybsd.org'. leaf.dragonflybsd.org will continue
to use the old network for a while.
Our nameserver topology has been revamped a bit to remove old cruft
and dual-home the networks.
I will not be renumbering until I can get the reverse DNS operational
(lots of phone tag with AT&T), plus give the new network a good burn-in.

For those interested this is AT&T Business U-Verse. Downlink speed is
around 16 MBits and uplink speed is around 2 MBits with their
highest-grade service. My comcast cable internet (which I will be
getting rid of soon), also the highest grade service, has a faster
downlink speed of around 30 MBits, but around the same uplink speed
of 2 MBits.
Of course, I only really care about uplink speed here, since I'm
serving data out.
However, the AT&T service so far does seem a bit more consistent
and I will test it vs my comcast internet (before I get rid of it)
with hulu et-all.
