Hi team — just a quick documentation correction report.
## Issue
The official environments docs page lists this URL for the Preprod proof server:
> https://docs.midnight.network/relnotes/network
| Service | URL listed |
|---|---|
| Proof server | `https://lace-proof-pub.preprod.midnight.network` |
However, this hostname does not resolve:
$ getent hosts lace-proof-pub.preprod.midnight.network (no output — NXDOMAIN)
$ curl -v https://lace-proof-pub.preprod.midnight.network/
- Could not resolve host: lace-proof-pub.preprod.midnight.network
## Working URL found
The actual working Preprod proof-server URL appears to follow the same naming convention as the indexer/RPC hosts:
$ getent hosts proof-server.preprod.midnight.network 34.250.71.107 proof-server.preprod.midnight.network 63.34.190.149 proof-server.preprod.midnight.network 34.250.60.195 proof-server.preprod.midnight.network
Three IPs behind what looks like an AWS ALB — clearly a live, production endpoint.
## Cross-environment DNS check
For reference, here is the DNS state across all three environments:
| Environment | `proof-server.<env>.midnight.network` | `lace-proof-pub.<env>.midnight.network` |
|---|---|---|
| Preview | ✅ resolves | ✅ resolves |
| Preprod | ✅ resolves | ❌ NXDOMAIN |
| Mainnet | ❌ NXDOMAIN | ❌ NXDOMAIN |
So Preview keeps both hostnames (presumably for backwards compatibility), but Preprod only exposes the new naming. The docs were likely not updated when the rename happened.
## Suggested action
Update the Preprod row in https://docs.midnight.network/relnotes/network to:
> `https://proof-server.preprod.midnight.network`
This blocked me for a few hours while migrating a project from Preview to Preprod, so a docs fix would help future builders save time.
(For context, I'm the same builder who posted #1190 about the Mainnet 1016 issue. Migrating to Preprod for now while waiting for guidance on Mainnet.)
Thanks!
