request https://latinxmidwest.osu.edu URL
This is a URL that will be used on a U.OSU site. I am finding out what server it needs to point to.
The site will be for a Comparative Studies research project, about Latinos in the Midwest.

- URL requested Request #: RITM976434 (Brian Canini - Dec 15, 2017)
- From Dan Watkins at OCIO: This is not a common kind of request (a direct CNAME to a u.osu.edu site), and I only have one precedent for it right now (usac.osu.edu). This is not normally an issue, but normal CNAME requests have existing targets that are not themselves CNAMEs. Your requested target does not exist, thus your web page will not load when the DNS update is deployed. It will not load until eNom, Inc. (or their customer?) updates their DNS to make it exist. We cannot do anything to make that site start working beyond this.
The way you are requesting this seems to match the precedent, so it may very well work. As long as you are aware of these risks, I can proceed. That being said, you have already requested we proceed, so this will be live after 9pm tonight. (Brian Canini - Dec 20, 2017)
