A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Internet Architecture Board Working Group of the IETF. Title : What's in a Name: False Assumptions about DNS Names Author(s) : J. Rosenberg Filename : draft-iab-dns-assumptions-00.txt Pages : 14 Date : 2004-11-30 The Domain Name System (DNS) provides an essential service on the Internet, mapping structured names to a variety of data, usually IP addresses. These names appear in email addresses, URIs, and other application layer identifiers that are often rendered to human users. Because of this, there has been a strong demand to acquire names that have significance to people, through equivalence to registered trademarks, company names, types of services, and so on. A danger of this trend is that the humans and automata which consume and use these identifiers will make assumptions about the services that are or should be provided by the hosts associated with these identifiers. This document discusses this problem in more detail and makes recommendations on how it can be avoided. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-dns-assumptions-00.txt To remove yourself from the I-D Announcement list, send a message to i-d-announce-request@ietf.org with the word unsubscribe in the body of the message. You can also visit https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/I-D-announce to change your subscription settings. Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-iab-dns-assumptions-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-iab-dns-assumptions-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
