'''Responsible:''' Sam Nicholson

Create a VT server system using a Raspberry Pi and the on-board HD video decode hardware, which should provide cheap HD VT servers.

'''Status:''' Awaiting a meeting with IT Services
'''Status:''' Scrapped


In theory YSTV could administer our own DNS server, and delegate the zone IT Services manage for us to be managed directly, potentially with access to LanDB for updating our own machines.
