That's unfortunate!

When using the eduVPN apps this should not be problem. When having
(many) users that manually download the configuration and use their own
client this will be a problem. If you want to support those, there is a
slightly different approach required, otherwise you can simply change
the hostname in the server configuration and things should keep working.

If you want to keep supporting non-eduVPN clients, let me know and we
can go through that as well. It won't be as robust, and may actually
break the eduVPN apps, as this exact scenario was never tested...
