Subject: New NIC domain request form
Newsgroups: mod.sources
Keywords: rfc920
From: Mary Stahl <SRI-NIC.ARPA!STAHL>
Subject: Re: Domain registration
OK, here is the domain registration questionnaire. - Mary
[ NETINFO:DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT ] [ 5/85, DBDOC ]
To establish a domain, the following information must be provided to
the NIC Domain Registrar (HOSTMASTER@SRI-NIC.ARPA):
Note: The key people must have computer mail mailboxes and
NIC "Handles", unique NIC database identifiers. If they do not
at present, please remedy the situation at once. A NIC Handle may
be established by contacting REGISTRAR@SRI-NIC.ARPA.
1) The name of the top level domain to join.
For example: EDU
2) The name, title, mailing address, phone number, and organization
of the administrative head of the organization. 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. The online mailbox and NIC Handle of this person should
also be included.
For example:
Administrator
Organization USC/Information Sciences Institute
Name Keith Uncapher
Title Executive Director
Mail Address USC/ISI
4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 1001
Marina del Rey, CA. 90292-6695
Phone Number 213-822-1511
Net Mailbox Uncapher@USC-ISIB.ARPA
NIC Handle KU
3) The name, title, mailing address, phone number, and organization
of the domain technical contact. The online mailbox and NIC Handle of
the domain technical contact should also be included. This is the
contact point for problems with the domain and for updating
information about the domain. Also, the domain technical contact may
be responsible for hosts in this domain.
For example:
Technical Contact
Organization USC/Information Sciences Institute
Name Craig Milo Rogers
Title Researcher
Mail Address USC/ISI
4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 1001
Marina del Rey, CA. 90292-6695
Phone Number 213-822-1511
Net Mailbox Rogers@USC-ISIB.ARPA
NIC Handle CMR
4) The name, title, mailing address, phone number, and organization
of the zone technical contact. The online mailbox and NIC-Ident of
the zone technical contact should also be included. This is the
contact point for problems with the zone and for updating information
about the zone. In many cases the zone technical contact and the
domain technical contact will be the same person.
For example:
Technical Contact
Organization USC/Information Sciences Institute
Name Craig Milo Rogers
Title Researcher
Mail Address USC/ISI
4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 1001
Marina del Rey, CA. 90292-6695
Phone Number 213-822-1511
Net Mailbox Rogers@USC-ISIB.ARPA
NIC Handle CMR
5) The name of the domain (up to 12 characters). This is the name
that will be used in tables and lists associating the domain and the
domain server addresses. [While technically domain names can be
quite long (programmers beware), shorter names are easier for people
to cope with.]
For example: ALPHA-BETA
6) A description of the servers that provides the domain service for
translating name to address 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 server operated by
the NIC, and will be installed and made operational on
1-November-84.
7) Domains should provide at least two independent servers for the
domain. A description of the server machine and its back-up, including:
(a) hardware and software (using keywords from the Assigned
Numbers)
(b) host domain name and net addresses (what host on what net for
each connected net)
(c) any domain nicknames
For example:
(a) hardware and software
VAX-11/750 and UNIX, or
IBM-PC and MS-DOS, or
DEC-1090 and TOPS-20
(b) host domain name and net address
BAR.FOO.EDU 10.9.0.193 on ARPANET
(c) domain nicknames
BR.FOO.EDU (same as BAR.FOO.EDU 10.9.0.13 on ARPANET)
8) Planned mapping of names of any other network hosts, other than
the server machines, into the new domain's naming space.
For example:
FOO2.BAR.ARPA (10.8.0.193) -> BAR.FOO2.EDU
FOO3.BAR.ARPA (10.7.0.193) -> BAR.FOO3.EDU
FOO4.BAR.ARPA (10.6.0.193) -> BAR.FOO4.EDU
9) An estimate of the number of hosts that will be in the domain.
(a) initially,
(b) within one year,
(c) two years, and
(d) five years.
For example:
(a) initially = 50
(b) one year = 100
(c) two years = 200
(d) five years = 500
10) A date when you expect the fully qualified domain name to
become the official host name.
