A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the DNS IXFR, Notification, and Dynamic Update 
Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: A New Scheme for the Compression of Domain Names
	Author(s)	: P. Koch
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dnsind-local-compression-04.txt
	Pages		: 8
	Date		: 01-Mar-99
	
   The compression of domain names in DNS messages was introduced in
   [RFC1035].  Although some remarks were made about applicability to
   future defined resource record types, no method has been deployed yet
   to support interoperable DNS compression for RR types specified since
   then.
 
   This document summarizes current problems and proposes a new
   compression scheme to be applied to future RR types which supports
   interoperability.  Also, suggestions are made how to deal with RR
   types defined so far.

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.
