"Unhoming" a Prefix

"Un-homing" a prefix on a particular site tells the server(s) that make up the site that they are no longer responsible for the given prefix, and that they should behave accordingly.

If you enter the prefix handle as well as the address and port number of one of the primary servers for the desired site, this tool will "unhome" the given prefix on that site. A message will be sent to each server in the site indicating that that site will no longer be responsible for the given prefix. From then on that server will reject requests for the handles under the given prefix.

To "unhome" a prefix, select 'Server Admin' from the main Handle Administration Tool menu, then click 'Unhome Prefix'.
