I had set up some minecraft servers in my k8s homelab behind a proxy that routes clients to the right server depending on the domain name they're connecting to.

Everything inside the k8s homelab uses subdomains of k.myvanitydomain.com. The minecraft proxy is at mc.k.myvanitydomain.com. So, to connect to the "valinor" minecraft server, it's just valinor.mc.k.myvanitydomain.com. Dead simple (to me).

I tried explaining that to my kids and suddenly I knew what it was like for whoever explained to me the whole /ls/<chubby_cell>/borg/<borg_cell>/bns/<mdb_user>/<job_name>/<index> setup from google prod
