+ DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE
+
+
+STATUS OF THIS MEMO
+
+ This memo describes procedures for registering a domain with the
+ Network Information Center (NIC) of Defense Data Network (DDN), and
+ offers guidelines on the establishment and administration of a domain
+ in accordance with the requirements specified in RFC-920. It is
+ intended for use by domain administrators. This memo should be used
+ in conjunction with RFC-920, which is an official policy statement of
+ the Internet Activities Board (IAB) and the Defense Advanced Research
+ Projects Agency (DARPA). Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
+
+BACKGROUND
+
+ Domains are adminstrative entities that provide decentralized
+ management of host naming and addressing. The domain-naming system
+ is distributed and hierarchical.
+
+ The NIC is designated by the Defense Communications Agency (DCA) to
+ provide registry services for the domain-naming system on the DDN and
+ DARPA portions of the Internet.
+
+ As registrar of top-level and second-level domains, as well as
+ administrator of the root domain name servers on behalf of DARPA and
+ DDN, the NIC is responsible for maintaining the root server zone
+ files and their binary equivalents. In addition, the NIC is
+ responsible for administering the top-level domains of "ARPA," "COM,"
+ "EDU," "ORG," "GOV," and "MIL" on behalf of DCA and DARPA until it
+ becomes feasible for other appropriate organizations to assume those
+ responsibilities.
+
+ It is recommended that the guidelines described in this document be
+ used by domain administrators in the establishment and control of
+ second-level domains.
+
+THE DOMAIN ADMINISTRATOR
+
+ The role of the domain administrator (DA) is that of coordinator,
+ manager, and technician. If his domain is established at the second
+ level or lower in the tree, the DA must register by interacting with
+ the management of the domain directly above his, making certain that
+
+
+
+Stahl [Page 1]
+
+RFC 1032 DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE November 1987
+
+
+ his domain satisfies all the requirements of the administration under
+ which his domain would be situated. To find out who has authority
+ over the name space he wishes to join, the DA can ask the NIC
+ Hostmaster. Information on contacts for the top-level and second-
+ level domains can also be found on line in the file NETINFO:DOMAIN-
+ CONTACTS.TXT, which is available from the NIC via anonymous FTP.
+
+ The DA should be technically competent; he should understand the
+ concepts and procedures for operating a domain server, as described
+ in RFC-1034, and make sure that the service provided is reliable and
+ uninterrupted. It is his responsibility or that of his delegate to
+ ensure that the data will be current at all times. As a manager, the
+ DA must be able to handle complaints about service provided by his
+ domain name server. He must be aware of the behavior of the hosts in
+ his domain, and take prompt action on reports of problems, such as
+ protocol violations or other serious misbehavior. The administrator
+ of a domain must be a responsible person who has the authority to
+ either enforce these actions himself or delegate them to someone
+ else.
+
+ Name assignments within a domain are controlled by the DA, who should
+ verify that names are unique within his domain and that they conform
+ to standard naming conventions. He furnishes access to names and
+ name-related information to users both inside and outside his domain.
+ He should work closely with the personnel he has designated as the
+ "technical and zone" contacts for his domain, for many administrative
+ decisions will be made on the basis of input from these people.
+
+THE DOMAIN TECHNICAL AND ZONE CONTACT
+
+ A zone consists of those contiguous parts of the domain tree for
+ which a domain server has complete information and over which it has
+ authority. A domain server may be authoratative for more than one
+ zone. The domain technical/zone contact is the person who tends to
+ the technical aspects of maintaining the domain's name server and
+ resolver software, and database files. He keeps the name server
+ running, and interacts with technical people in other domains and
+ zones to solve problems that affect his zone.
+
+POLICIES
+
+ Domain or host name choices and the allocation of domain name space
+ are considered to be local matters. In the event of conflicts, it is
+ the policy of the NIC not to get involved in local disputes or in the
+ local decision-making process. The NIC will not act as referee in
+ disputes over such matters as who has the "right" to register a
+ particular top-level or second-level domain for an organization. The
+ NIC considers this a private local matter that must be settled among
+
+
+
+Stahl [Page 2]
+
+RFC 1032 DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE November 1987
+
+
+ the parties involved prior to their commencing the registration
+ process with the NIC. Therefore, it is assumed that the responsible
+ person for a domain will have resolved any local conflicts among the
+ members of his domain before registering that domain with the NIC.
+ The NIC will give guidance, if requested, by answering specific
+ technical questions, but will not provide arbitration in disputes at
+ the local level. This policy is also in keeping with the distributed
+ hierarchical nature of the domain-naming system in that it helps to
+ distribute the tasks of solving problems and handling questions.
+
+ Naming conventions for hosts should follow the rules specified in
+ RFC-952. From a technical standpoint, domain names can be very long.
+ Each segment of a domain name may contain up to 64 characters, but
+ the NIC strongly advises DAs to choose names that are 12 characters
+ or fewer, because behind every domain system there is a human being
+ who must keep track of the names, addresses, contacts, and other data
+ in a database. The longer the name, the more likely the data
+ maintainer is to make a mistake. Users also will appreciate shorter
+ names. Most people agree that short names are easier to remember and
+ type; most domain names registered so far are 12 characters or fewer.
+
+ Domain name assignments are made on a first-come-first-served basis.
+ The NIC has chosen not to register individual hosts directly under
+ the top-level domains it administers. One advantage of the domain
+ naming system is that administration and data maintenance can be
+ delegated down a hierarchical tree. Registration of hosts at the
+ same level in the tree as a second-level domain would dilute the
+ usefulness of this feature. In addition, the administrator of a
+ domain is responsible for the actions of hosts within his domain. We
+ would not want to find ourselves in the awkward position of policing
+ the actions of individual hosts. Rather, the subdomains registered
+ under these top-level domains retain the responsibility for this
+ function.
+
+ Countries that wish to be registered as top-level domains are
+ required to name themselves after the two-letter country code listed
+ in the international standard ISO-3166. In some cases, however, the
+ two-letter ISO country code is identical to a state code used by the
+ U.S. Postal Service. Requests made by countries to use the three-
+ letter form of country code specified in the ISO-3166 standard will
+ be considered in such cases so as to prevent possible conflicts and
+ confusion.

+
+
+HOW TO REGISTER
+
+ Obtain a domain questionnaire from the NIC hostmaster, or FTP the
+ file NETINFO:DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT from host SRI-NIC.ARPA.
+
+ Fill out the questionnaire completely. Return it via electronic mail
+ to HOSTMASTER@SRI-NIC.ARPA.
+
+ The APPENDIX to this memo contains the application form for
+ registering a top-level or second-level domain with the NIC. It
+ supersedes the version of the questionnaire found in RFC-920. The
+ application should be submitted by the person administratively
+ responsible for the domain, and must be filled out completely before
+ the NIC will authorize establishment of a top-level or second-level
+ domain. The DA is responsible for keeping his domain's data current
+ with the NIC or with the registration agent with which his domain is
+ registered. For example, the CSNET and UUCP managements act as
+ domain filters, processing domain applications for their own
+ organizations. They pass pertinent information along periodically to
+ the NIC for incorporation into the domain database and root server
+ files. The online file NETINFO:ALTERNATE-DOMAIN-PROCEDURE.TXT
+ outlines this procedure. It is highly recommended that the DA review
+ this information periodically and provide any corrections or
+ additions. Corrections should be submitted via electronic mail.
+
+WHICH DOMAIN NAME?
+
+ The designers of the domain-naming system initiated several general
+ categories of names as top-level domain names, so that each could
+ accommodate a variety of organizations. The current top-level
+ domains registered with the DDN Network Information Center are ARPA,
+ COM, EDU, GOV, MIL, NET, and ORG, plus a number of top-level country
+ domains. To join one of these, a DA needs to be aware of the purpose
+ for which it was intended.
+
+ "ARPA" is a temporary domain. It is by default appended to the
+ names of hosts that have not yet joined a domain. When the system
+ was begun in 1984, the names of all hosts in the Official DoD
+ Internet Host Table maintained by the NIC were changed by adding
+ of the label ".ARPA" in order to accelerate a transition to the
+ domain-naming system. Another reason for the blanket name changes
+ was to force hosts to become accustomed to using the new style
+ names and to modifiy their network software, if necessary. This
+ was done on a network-wide basis and was directed by DCA in DDN
+ Management Bulletin No. 22. Hosts that fall into this domain will
+ eventually move to other branches of the domain tree.
+
+
+
+
+
+Stahl [Page 4]
+
+RFC 1032 DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE November 1987
+
+
+ "COM" is meant to incorporate subdomains of companies and
+ businesses.
+
+ "EDU" was initiated to accommodate subdomains set up by
+ universities and other educational institutions.
+
+ "GOV" exists to act as parent domain for subdomains set up by
+ government agencies.
+
+ "MIL" was initiated to act as parent to subdomains that are
+ developed by military organizations.
+
+ "NET" was introduced as a parent domain for various network-type
+ organizations. Organizations that belong within this top-level
+ domain are generic or network-specific, such as network service
+ centers and consortia. "NET" also encompasses network
+ management-related organizations, such as information centers and
+ operations centers.
+
+ "ORG" exists as a parent to subdomains that do not clearly fall
+ within the other top-level domains. This may include technical-
+ support groups, professional societies, or similar organizations.
+
+ One of the guidelines in effect in the domain-naming system is that a
+ host should have only one name regardless of what networks it is
+ connected to. This implies, that, in general, domain names should
+ not include routing information or addresses. For example, a host
+ that has one network connection to the Interent and another to BITNET
+ should use the same name when talking to either network. For a
+ description of the syntax of domain names, please refer to Section 3
+ of RFC-1034.
+
+VERIFICATION OF DATA
+
+ The verification process can be accomplished in several ways. One of
+ these is through the NIC WHOIS server. If he has access to WHOIS,
+ the DA can type the commmand "whois domain <domain name><return>".
+ The reply from WHOIS will supply the following: the name and address
+ of the organization "owning" the domain; the name of the domain; its
+ administrative, technical, and zone contacts; the host names and
+ network addresses of sites providing name service for the domain.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Stahl [Page 5]
+
+RFC 1032 DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE November 1987
+
+
+ Example:
+
+ @whois domain rice.edu<Return>
+
+ Rice University (RICE-DOM)
+ Advanced Studies and Research
+ Houston, TX 77001
+
+ Domain Name: RICE.EDU
+
+ Administrative Contact:
+ Kennedy, Ken (KK28) Kennedy@LLL-CRG.ARPA (713) 527-4834
+ Technical Contact, Zone Contact:
+ Riffle, Vicky R. (VRR) rif@RICE.EDU
+ (713) 527-8101 ext 3844
+
+ Domain servers:
+
+ RICE.EDU 128.42.5.1
+ PENDRAGON.CS.PURDUE.EDU 128.10.2.5
+
+
+ Alternatively, the DA can send an electronic mail message to
+ SERVICE@SRI-NIC.ARPA. In the subject line of the message header, the
+ DA should type "whois domain <domain name>". The requested
+ information will be returned via electronic mail. This method is
+ convenient for sites that do not have access to the NIC WHOIS
+ service.
+
+ The initial application for domain authorization should be submitted
+ via electronic mail, if possible, to HOSTMASTER@SRI-NIC.ARPA. The
+ questionnaire described in the appendix may be used or a separate
+ application can be FTPed from host SRI-NIC.ARPA. The information
+ provided by the administrator will be reviewed by hostmaster
+ personnel for completeness. There will most likely be a few
+ exchanges of correspondence via electronic mail, the preferred method
+ of communication, prior to authorization of the domain.
+
+HOW TO GET MORE INFORMATION
+
+ An informational table of the top-level domains and their root
+ servers is contained in the file NETINFO:DOMAINS.TXT online at SRI-
+ NIC.ARPA. This table can be obtained by FTPing the file.
+ Alternatively, the information can be acquired by opening a TCP or
+ UDP connection to the NIC Host Name Server, port 101 on SRI-NIC.ARPA,
+ and invoking the command "ALL-DOM".
+
+
+

+
+Stahl [Page 6]
+
+RFC 1032 DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE November 1987
+
+
+ The following online files, all available by FTP from SRI-NIC.ARPA,
+ contain pertinent domain information:
+
+ - NETINFO:DOMAINS.TXT, a table of all top-level domains and the
+ network addresses of the machines providing domain name
+ service for them. It is updated each time a new top-level
+ domain is approved.
+
+ - NETINFO:DOMAIN-INFO.TXT contains a concise list of all
+ top-level and second-level domain names registered with the
+ NIC and is updated monthly.
+
+ - NETINFO:DOMAIN-CONTACTS.TXT also contains a list of all the
+ top level and second-level domains, but includes the
+ administrative, technical and zone contacts for each as well.
+
+ - NETINFO:DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT contains the questionnaire to be
+ completed before registering a top-level or second-level
+ domain.
+
+ For either general or specific information on the domain system, do
+ one or more of the following:
+
+ 1. Send electronic mail to HOSTMASTER@SRI-NIC.ARPA
+
+ 2. Call the toll-free NIC hotline at (800) 235-3155
+
+ 3. Use FTP to get background RFCs and other files maintained
+ online at the NIC. Some pertinent RFCs are listed below in
+ the REFERENCES section of this memo.

+
+APPENDIX
+
+ The following questionnaire may be FTPed from SRI-NIC.ARPA as
+ NETINFO:DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT.
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ To establish a domain, the following information must be sent to the
+ NIC Domain Registrar (HOSTMASTER@SRI-NIC.ARPA):
+
+ NOTE: The key people must have electronic mailboxes and NIC
+ "handles," unique NIC database identifiers. If you have access to
+ "WHOIS", please check to see if you are registered and if so, make
+ sure the information is current. Include only your handle and any
+ changes (if any) that need to be made in your entry. If you do not
+ have access to "WHOIS", please provide all the information indicated
+ and a NIC handle will be assigned.
+
+ (1) The name of the top-level domain to join.
+
+ For example: COM
+
+ (2) The NIC handle of the administrative head of the organization.
+ Alternately, the person's name, title, mailing address, phone number,
+ organization, and network mailbox. This is the contact point for
+ administrative and policy questions about the domain. In the case of
+ a research project, this should be the principal investigator.
+
+ For example:
+
+ Administrator
+
+ Organization The NetWorthy Corporation
+ Name Penelope Q. Sassafrass
+ Title President
+ Mail Address The NetWorthy Corporation
+ 4676 Andrews Way, Suite 100
+ Santa Clara, CA 94302-1212
+ Phone Number (415) 123-4567
+ Net Mailbox Sassafrass@ECHO.TNC.COM
+ NIC Handle PQS
+
+ (3) The NIC handle of the technical contact for the domain.
+ Alternately, the person's name, title, mailing address, phone number,
+ organization, and network mailbox. This is the contact point for
+ problems concerning the domain or zone, as well as for updating
+ information about the domain or zone.
+
+
+
+
+Stahl [Page 10]
+
+RFC 1032 DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE November 1987
+
+
+ For example:
+
+ Technical and Zone Contact
+
+ Organization The NetWorthy Corporation
+ Name Ansel A. Aardvark
+ Title Executive Director
+ Mail Address The NetWorthy Corporation
+ 4676 Andrews Way, Suite 100
+ Santa Clara, CA. 94302-1212
+ Phone Number (415) 123-6789
+ Net Mailbox Aardvark@ECHO.TNC.COM
+ NIC Handle AAA2
+
+ (4) The name of the domain (up to 12 characters). This is the name
+ that will be used in tables and lists associating the domain with the
+ domain server addresses. [While, from a technical standpoint, domain
+ names can be quite long (programmers beware), shorter names are
+ easier for people to cope with.]
+
+ For example: TNC
+
+ (5) A description of the servers that provide the domain service for
+ translating names to addresses for hosts in this domain, and the date
+ they will be operational.
+
+ A good way to answer this question is to say "Our server is
+ supplied by person or company X and does whatever their standard
+ issue server does."
+
+ For example: Our server is a copy of the one operated by
+ the NIC; it will be installed and made operational on
+ 1 November 1987.
+
+ (6) Domains must provide at least two independent servers for the
+ domain. Establishing the servers in physically separate locations
+ and on different PSNs is strongly recommended. A description of the
+ server machine and its backup, including
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Stahl [Page 11]
+
+RFC 1032 DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE November 1987
+
+
+ (a) Hardware and software (using keywords from the Assigned
+ Numbers RFC).
+
+ (b) Host domain name and network addresses (which host on which
+ network for each connected network).
+
+ (c) Any domain-style nicknames (please limit your domain-style
+ nickname request to one)
+
+ For example:
+
+ - Hardware and software
+
+ VAX-11/750 and UNIX, or
+ IBM-PC and MS-DOS, or
+ DEC-1090 and TOPS-20
+
+ - Host domain names and network addresses
+
+ BAR.FOO.COM 10.9.0.193 on ARPANET
+
+ - Domain-style nickname
+
+ BR.FOO.COM (same as BAR.FOO.COM 10.9.0.13 on ARPANET)
+
+ (7) Planned mapping of names of any other network hosts, other than
+ the server machines, into the new domain's naming space.
+
+ For example:
+
+ BAR-FOO2.ARPA (10.8.0.193) -> FOO2.BAR.COM
+ BAR-FOO3.ARPA (10.7.0.193) -> FOO3.BAR.COM
+ BAR-FOO4.ARPA (10.6.0.193) -> FOO4.BAR.COM
+
+
+ (8) An estimate of the number of hosts that will be in the domain.
+
+ (a) Initially
+ (b) Within one year
+ (c) Two years
+ (d) Five years.
+
+ For example:
+
+ (a) Initially = 50
+ (b) One year = 100
+ (c) Two years = 200
+ (d) Five years = 500
+
+
+
+Stahl [Page 12]
+
+RFC 1032 DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE November 1987
+
+
+ (9) The date you expect the fully qualified domain name to become
+ the official host name in HOSTS.TXT.
+
+ Please note: If changing to a fully qualified domain name (e.g.,
+ FOO.BAR.COM) causes a change in the official host name of an
+ ARPANET or MILNET host, DCA approval must be obtained beforehand.
+ Allow 10 working days for your requested changes to be processed.
+
+ ARPANET sites should contact ARPANETMGR@DDN1.ARPA. MILNET sites
+ should contact HOSTMASTER@SRI-NIC.ARPA, 800-235-3155, for
+ further instructions.
+
+ (10) Please describe your organization briefly.
+
+ For example: The NetWorthy Corporation is a consulting
+ organization of people working with UNIX and the C language in an
+ electronic networking environment. It sponsors two technical
+ conferences annually and distributes a bimonthly newsletter.
+
