Domain name scheme
==================
Tor uses two main domain names for things:
* `torproject.org`
* `torproject.net`
There might be other domains managed by us or registered in the DNS,
but they should eventually point to one of those, generally
`torproject.org`.
All TPA-managed machines and services on those machines should be
under `torproject.org`. The name of the individual machines is
detailed below.
External services and machines *can* be hosted under
`torproject.net`. In that case, the only association is a `CNAME` or
`A` record pointing to the other machine.
