- 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:
