       Title     : Selection and Operation of Secondary DNS Servers

The Domain Name System requires that multiple servers exist for every 
delegated domain (zone).  This document discusses the selection of 
secondary servers for DNS zones.  Both the physical and topological 
location of each server are material considerations when selecting 
secondary servers.  The number of servers appropriate for a zone is also 
discussed, and some general secondary server maintenance issues considered.

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
                                                     
Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsind-2ndry-03.txt".
                                   
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
                                   
For questions, please mail to [e-mail]
                                   

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
