- Status of this Memo

- This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo
- does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
- this memo is unlimited.
-
- Introduction
-
- This RFC describes the policy for the registration of second level
- domains under the ".MIL" domain.
-
- Policy
-
- A. The ".MIL" domain is delegated from the root authority to the US
- Department of Defense (DoD). Only US military services, unified or
- specified commands, and operating agencies of the DoD which do not
- report through military service chains can be registered as a second
- level domain under the ".MIL" domain. All other DoD organizations
- will register through their respective second level domain
- administrators using the registration procedures established by those
- offices. The ".MIL" domain is administered by the DoD Network
- Information Center (NIC).
-
- B. The domain names under the ".MIL" will be descriptive of the
- organization they will service. The domain name length is preferred
- to be 12 characters or less, and must be unique (first come first
- serve if duplicates occur).
-
- C. Each second level domain under the ".MIL" domain will be
- supported by at least two name servers. Preferably these servers
- will be located in two separate networks. All DNS servers supporting
- subdomains of the ".MIL" domain must be in the ".MIL" domain.
-
- D. Prospective second level domain administrators in the ".MIL"
- domain will request registration using the template provided by the
- DoD NIC. The templates are available via anonymous FTP or
- interactively via the DoD NIC World Wide Web Homepage. The domain
- request template shall be submitted to the DoD NIC hostmaster
- (hostmaster@nic.ddn.mil). The DoD NIC hostmaster will only accept
- domain registration templates from registered ".MIL" users.
