GENERAL PROCEDURE
|
|
|
|
- The administrator of each of these organization will process domain
|
|
applications from his/her members and forward them to the NIC
|
|
(HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL) in groups. The NIC will provide a
|
|
special form for this process online in
|
|
NETINFO:ALTERNATE-DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT. This template can be FTPed
|
|
by the administrator, or Hostmaster can send it via electronic
|
|
mail. The application form in the online file
|
|
NETINFO:BITNET-DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT is available for BITNET users.
|
|
|
|
- The NIC will check for domain name conflicts and notify the
|
|
administrators in case of conflicts.
|
|
|
|
- If the names are valid, the NIC will generate name server records
|
|
for each of the new domains.
|
|
|
|
- The administrators of each organization agree to provide a contact for
|
|
the domains in their networks.
|
|
|
|
- Hostmaster will notify administrators of acceptance or rejection
|
|
of applications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAINTENANCE OF DOMAIN INFORMATION
|
|
|
|
Periodically, each organization should review the information on file
|
|
at the NIC. The most simple way to do this is by using the NIC WHOIS
|
|
server and typing "whois domain <domain name> <Return>" at the prompt.
|
|
If any changes are required, the administrator should contact the NIC
|
|
Hostmaster.
