The Host Information resource record, HINFO, is for host-specific data. This record lists the hardware and operating system running at the listed host. Only a single space separates the hardware information and the operating-system information. To include a space in the workstation name, you must place quotation marks around the name. There should be one HINFO record for each host. See the file /usr/etc/named.d/README for the current list of names for IRIS4D Series workstations and servers. To learn the names for other types of hardware and operating systems, refer to the most current "Assigned Numbers" RFC (RFC 1340 as of this writing).
