NIC.DDN.MIL The new address for host NIC.DDN.MIL is 192.67.67.20. The old ARPANET address for the NIC, 10.0.0.51, is no longer available, due to the phase-out of the ARPANET. The old MILNET address for the NIC, 26.0.0.73, will continue to be valid until 1 June 1990, after which service to this address will be discontinued. ROOT DOMAIN SERVER The NIC's root domain server will run on a new host, NS.NIC.DDN.MIL at address 192.67.67.53. The old root server will continue to run on NIC.DDN.MIL until 1 June 1990. New host tables and domain server files produced by the NIC will reflect the new addresses. Users should update host tables, domain server boot files, manuals, and documentation to reflect the new addresses.
