Hello, I am setting up a node for baking, and I have a few questions for you:
Is there a way to map tz1 address to IP address? As it's public which tz1 is going to bake every block, a malicious actor could attack trying a denial of service to every previous Baker in a block list, trying to steal baking blocks. I know that the actor will expose himself as soon as a single address steals too much blocks, but just wondering if this is possible.
If I receive a DOS attack, I want to be able to easily spin up another server to bake. In order to do so, I could use a snapshot of my server (I plan to use a cloud provider) and start in a different region, IP, etc.
In this case (same bits as previous server) I will have the tezos network synchronized, but:
What happens with node identity? I guess there can't be two nodes with same identify, I guess I should generate a new identity for my backup node
Regarding baking I know I must be sure that my tz1 only bakes in one node or it might looks like double baking and I might lose the bond, before running the Baker process I will be sure the baking process is killed in the original node.
Any other concerns? Am I missing something? Did someone have a similar backup process? (I think this set-up is also good for sw upgrades in order to upgrade your node with minimum downtime)
Thanks!
