A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 2517: Title: Building Directories from DNS: Experiences from WWWSeeker Author(s): R. Moats, R. Huber Status: Informational Date: February 1999 Mailbox: jayhawk@att.com, rvh@att.com Pages: 7 Characters: 14001 Updates/Obsoletes/See Also: None I-D Tag: draft-rfced-info-moats-03.txt URL: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2517.txt There has been much discussion and several documents written about the need for an Internet Directory. Recently, this discussion has focused on ways to discover an organization's domain name without relying on use of DNS as a directory service. This memo discusses lessons that were learned during InterNIC Directory and Database Services' development and operation of WWWSeeker, an application that finds a web site given information about the name and location of an organization. The back end database that drives this application was built from information obtained from domain registries via WHOIS and other protocols. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list. Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG.
