Could you please create 2 new rocky8 VMware hosts which should act similar roles as echo-manager01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk,

named:
echo-alice-manager01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk
echo-alice-manager02.gridpp.rl.ac.uk

with associated x509 certificates with the following SANs:
echo.stfc.ac.uk
alice.echo.stfc.ac.uk
*.echo.stfc.ac.uk 
*.s3.echo.stfc.ac.uk
 

with external firewall holes for port 1094 (xrootd traffic)

they should should be able to contact echo gateways on port 1094,1095 and 1213

with the following specs
4 CPUs
8GB RAM
60GB disk

with IP addresses changed so that they are in the OPN subnet
Ideally they should be in the lower part of 130.246.176.0/24 https://netbox.esc.rl.ac.uk/ipam/prefixes/323/ip-addresses/  (James A's words.) (v4 and v6)

with AAAA DNS records added once set,

along with a pair of floating IPs (like 130.246.176.2 and 130.246.176.3 and the associated v6 2001:630:58:1820::82f6:b002 and 2001:630:58:1820::82f6:b003) to be assigned to keepalived for load balancing
