-
- 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.
