The DDN MANAGEMENT BULLETIN is distributed online by the DDN Network
Information Center under DISA contract as a means of communicating
official policy, procedures and other information of concern to
management personnel at DDN facilities. Back issues may be read
through the TACNEWS server ("@n" command at the TAC) or may be
obtained by FTP (or Kermit) from the NIC.DDN.MIL host [192.112.36.5]
using login="anonymous" and password="guest". The pathname
for bulletins is ddn-news/ddn-mgt-bulletin-nn.txt (where "nn" is the

Subject: Renaming of Domain DCA to DISA
1. Since the Defense Communications Agency (DCA) has recently changed its
name to Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), it is necessary to
change the DCA domain name to DISA. Accordingly, all DDN hosts using
the .dca.mil extension must be changed to .disa.mil., with the exception
of hosts that should have the extension .ddn.mil. These hostnames will
be changed at the same time the DISA changes are made.
2. The NIC will make these changes globally for all hosts registered
under the .dca.mil domain; the changes will take effect on 31 March 1992.
All host administrators and/or host coordinators will be responsible for
ensuring that they make any host modifications necessary to accommodate
this change and for promptly notifying all the users associated with their
hosts about the change.
3. DDN will retain the DCA.MIL name as a nickname or alias for a period of
one year to allow for an easy transition from the DCA.MIL domain to the
DISA.MIL domain.
4. Any questions concerning the change of hosts from .dca.mil to .disa.mil
should be directed to Mr William J. Hamill, DISA Milnet Domain Manager,
(703) 487-8405.
5. Any questions concerning the change of hosts from .dca.mil to .ddn.mil
should be directed to the MILNET manager in the appropriate geographic
area:
