[netinfo/in-addr-template.txt] The Internet uses a special domain to support gateway location and Internet address to host mapping. The intent of this domain is to provide a guaranteed method to perform host address to host name mapping, and to facilitate queries to locate all gateways on a particular network in the Internet. IN-ADDR.ARPA Registration The following information is needed for delegation of registered networks in your domain for inclusion in the IN-ADDR.ARPA zone files: * the IN-ADDR.ARPA domain * the Network name * the Hostnames of the two hosts on networks that will be acting as IN-ADDR servers IN-ADDR domains are represented using the network number in reverse. For example, network 123.45.67.0's IN-ADDR domain is represented as 67.45.123.IN-ADDR.ARPA. For example: IN-ADDR domain Network Name IN-ADDR Servers (Hostname) (NetAddress) (CPUType/OpSys) 41.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA NET-TEST-ONE BAR.FOO.EDU 123.45.67.89 VAX-II/VMS ONE.ABC.COM 98.76.54.32 SUN/UNIX - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTE: Unless specified, new hosts registered as IN-ADDR servers will be registered in the root servers only and will not appear in the HOSTS.TXT file. Please have the Network Coordinator complete and return the following information for those networks needing IN-ADDR registration.
