DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS OPERATIONS GUIDE
STATUS OF THIS MEMO
This RFC provides guidelines for domain administrators in operating a
domain server and maintaining their portion of the hierarchical
database. Familiarity with the domain system is assumed.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This memo is a formatted collection of notes and excerpts from the
references listed at the end of this document. Of particular mention
are Paul Mockapetris and Kevin Dunlap.
INTRODUCTION
A domain server requires a few files to get started. It will
normally have some number of boot/startup files (also known as the
"safety belt" files). One section will contain a list of possible
root servers that the server will use to find the up-to-date list of
root servers. Another section will list the zone files to be loaded
into the server for your local domain information. A zone file
typically contains all the data for a particular domain. This guide
describes the data formats that can be used in zone files and
suggested parameters to use for certain fields. If you are
attempting to do anything advanced or tricky, consult the appropriate
domain RFC's for more details.
Note: Each implementation of domain software may require different
files. Zone files are standardized but some servers may require
other startup files. See the appropriate documentation that comes
with your software. See the appendix for some specific examples.
ZONES
A zone defines the contents of a contiguous section of the domain
space, usually bounded by administrative boundaries. There will
typically be a separate data file for each zone. The data contained
in a zone file is composed of entries called Resource Records (RRs).
Lottor [Page 1]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
You may only put data in your domain server that you are
authoritative for. You must not add entries for domains other than
your own (except for the special case of "glue records").
A domain server will probably read a file on start-up that lists the
zones it should load into its database. The format of this file is
not standardized and is different for most domain server
implementations. For each zone it will normally contain the domain
name of the zone and the file name that contains the data to load for
the zone.
ROOT SERVERS
A resolver will need to find the root servers when it first starts.
When the resolver boots, it will typically read a list of possible
root servers from a file.
The resolver will cycle through the list trying to contact each one.
When it finds a root server, it will ask it for the current list of
root servers. It will then discard the list of root servers it read
from the data file and replace it with the current list it received.
Root servers will not change very often. You can get the names of
current root servers from the NIC.
FTP the file NETINFO:ROOT-SERVERS.TXT or send a mail request to
NIC@SRI-NIC.ARPA.
As of this date (June 1987) they are:
SRI-NIC.ARPA 10.0.0.51 26.0.0.73
C.ISI.EDU 10.0.0.52
BRL-AOS.ARPA 192.5.25.82 192.5.22.82 128.20.1.2
A.ISI.EDU 26.3.0.103
RESOURCE RECORDS
Records in the zone data files are called resource records (RRs).
They are specified in RFC-883 and RFC-973. An RR has a standard
format as shown:
<name> [<ttl>] [<class>] <type> <data>
The record is divided into fields which are separated by white space.
<name>
The name field defines what domain name applies to the given
Lottor [Page 2]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
RR. In some cases the name field can be left blank and it will
default to the name field of the previous RR.
<ttl>
TTL stands for Time To Live. It specifies how long a domain
resolver should cache the RR before it throws it out and asks a
domain server again. See the section on TTL's. If you leave
the TTL field blank it will default to the minimum time
specified in the SOA record (described later).
<class>
The class field specifies the protocol group. If left blank it
will default to the last class specified.
<type>
The type field specifies what type of data is in the RR. See
the section on types.
<data>
The data field is defined differently for each type and class
of data. Popular RR data formats are described later.
The domain system does not guarantee to preserve the order of
resource records. Listing RRs (such as multiple address records) in
a certain order does not guarantee they will be used in that order.
Case is preserved in names and data fields when loaded into the name
server. All comparisons and lookups in the name server are case
insensitive.
Parenthesis ("(",")") are used to group data that crosses a line
boundary.
A semicolon (";") starts a comment; the remainder of the line is
ignored.
The asterisk ("*") is used for wildcarding.
The at-sign ("@") denotes the current default domain name.
Lottor [Page 3]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
NAMES
A domain name is a sequence of labels separated by dots.
Domain names in the zone files can be one of two types, either
absolute or relative. An absolute name is the fully qualified domain
name and is terminated with a period. A relative name does not
terminate with a period, and the current default domain is appended
to it. The default domain is usually the name of the domain that was
specified in the boot file that loads each zone.
The domain system allows a label to contain any 8-bit character.
Although the domain system has no restrictions, other protocols such
as SMTP do have name restrictions. Because of other protocol
restrictions, only the following characters are recommended for use
in a host name (besides the dot separator):
"A-Z", "a-z", "0-9", dash and underscore
TTL's (Time To Live)
It is important that TTLs are set to appropriate values. The TTL is
the time (in seconds) that a resolver will use the data it got from
your server before it asks your server again. If you set the value
too low, your server will get loaded down with lots of repeat
requests. If you set it too high, then information you change will
not get distributed in a reasonable amount of time. If you leave the
TTL field blank, it will default to what is specified in the SOA
record for the zone.
Most host information does not change much over long time periods. A
good way to set up your TTLs would be to set them at a high value,
and then lower the value if you know a change will be coming soon.
You might set most TTLs to anywhere between a day (86400) and a week
(604800). Then, if you know some data will be changing in the near
future, set the TTL for that RR down to a lower value (an hour to a
day) until the change takes place, and then put it back up to its
previous value.
Also, all RRs with the same name, class, and type should have the
same TTL value.
CLASSES
The domain system was designed to be protocol independent. The class
field is used to identify the protocol group that each RR is in.
The class of interest to people using TCP/IP software is the class
Lottor [Page 4]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
"Internet". Its standard designation is "IN".
A zone file should only contain RRs of the same class.
TYPES
There are many defined RR types. For a complete list, see the domain
specification RFCs. Here is a list of current commonly used types.
The data for each type is described in the data section.
Designation Description
==========================================
SOA Start Of Authority
NS Name Server
A Internet Address
CNAME Canonical Name (nickname pointer)
HINFO Host Information
WKS Well Known Services
MX Mail Exchanger
PTR Pointer
SOA (Start Of Authority)
<name> [<ttl>] [<class>] SOA <origin> <person> (
<serial>
<refresh>
<retry>
<expire>
<minimum> )
The Start Of Authority record designates the start of a zone. The
zone ends at the next SOA record.
<name> is the name of the zone.
<origin> is the name of the host on which the master zone file
resides.
<person> is a mailbox for the person responsible for the zone. It is
formatted like a mailing address but the at-sign that normally
separates the user from the host name is replaced with a dot.
<serial> is the version number of the zone file. It should be
incremented anytime a change is made to data in the zone.
Lottor [Page 5]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
<refresh> is how long, in seconds, a secondary name server is to
check with the primary name server to see if an update is needed. A
good value here would be one hour (3600).
<retry> is how long, in seconds, a secondary name server is to retry
after a failure to check for a refresh. A good value here would be
10 minutes (600).
<expire> is the upper limit, in seconds, that a secondary name server
is to use the data before it expires for lack of getting a refresh.
You want this to be rather large, and a nice value is 3600000, about
42 days.
<minimum> is the minimum number of seconds to be used for TTL values
in RRs. A minimum of at least a day is a good value here (86400).
There should only be one SOA record per zone. A sample SOA record
would look something like:
@ IN SOA SRI-NIC.ARPA. HOSTMASTER.SRI-NIC.ARPA. (
45 ;serial
3600 ;refresh
600 ;retry
3600000 ;expire
86400 ) ;minimum
NS (Name Server)
<domain> [<ttl>] [<class>] NS <server>
The NS record lists the name of a machine that provides domain
service for a particular domain. The name associated with the RR is
the domain name and the data portion is the name of a host that
provides the service. If machines SRI-NIC.ARPA and C.ISI.EDU provide
name lookup service for the domain COM then the following entries
would be used:
COM. NS SRI-NIC.ARPA.
NS C.ISI.EDU.
Note that the machines providing name service do not have to live in
the named domain. There should be one NS record for each server for
a domain. Also note that the name "COM" defaults for the second NS
record.
NS records for a domain exist in both the zone that delegates the
domain, and in the domain itself.
Lottor [Page 6]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
GLUE RECORDS
If the name server host for a particular domain is itself inside the
domain, then a 'glue' record will be needed. A glue record is an A
(address) RR that specifies the address of the server. Glue records
are only needed in the server delegating the domain, not in the
domain itself. If for example the name server for domain SRI.COM was
KL.SRI.COM, then the NS record would look like this, but you will
also need to have the following A record.
SRI.COM. NS
KL.SRI.COM. KL.SRI.COM. A 10.1.0.2.
A (Address)
<host> [<ttl>] [<class>] A <address>
The data for an A record is an internet address in dotted decimal
form. A sample A record might look like:
SRI-NIC.ARPA. A 10.0.0.51
There should be one A record for each address of a host.
CNAME ( Canonical Name)
<nickname> [<ttl>] [<class>] CNAME <host>
The CNAME record is used for nicknames. The name associated with the
RR is the nickname. The data portion is the official name. For
example, a machine named SRI-NIC.ARPA may want to have the nickname
NIC.ARPA. In that case, the following RR would be used:
NIC.ARPA. CNAME SRI-NIC.ARPA.
There must not be any other RRs associated with a nickname of the
same class.
Nicknames are also useful when a host changes it's name. In that
case, it is usually a good idea to have a CNAME pointer so that
people still using the old name will get to the right place.
Lottor [Page 7]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
HINFO (Host Info)
<host> [<ttl>] [<class>] HINFO <hardware> <software>
The HINFO record gives information about a particular host. The data
is two strings separated by whitespace. The first string is a
hardware description and the second is software. The hardware is
usually a manufacturer name followed by a dash and model designation.
The software string is usually the name of the operating system.
Official HINFO types can be found in the latest Assigned Numbers RFC,
the latest of which is RFC-1010. The Hardware type is called the
Machine name and the Software type is called the System name.
Some sample HINFO records:
SRI-NIC.ARPA. HINFO DEC-2060 TOPS20
UCBARPA.Berkeley.EDU. HINFO VAX-11/780 UNIX
WKS (Well Known Services)
<host> [<ttl>] [<class>] WKS <address> <protocol> <services>
The WKS record is used to list Well Known Services a host provides.
WKS's are defined to be services on port numbers below 256. The WKS
record lists what services are available at a certain address using a
certain protocol. The common protocols are TCP or UDP. A sample WKS
record for a host offering the same services on all address would
look like:
Official protocol names can be found in the latest Assigned Numbers
RFC, the latest of which is RFC-1010.
SRI-NIC.ARPA. WKS 10.0.0.51 TCP TELNET FTP SMTP
WKS 10.0.0.51 UDP TIME
WKS 26.0.0.73 TCP TELNET FTP SMTP
WKS 26.0.0.73 UDP TIME
MX (Mail Exchanger) (See RFC-974 for more details.)
<name> [<ttl>] [<class>] MX <preference> <host>
MX records specify where mail for a domain name should be delivered.
There may be multiple MX records for a particular name. The
preference value specifies the order a mailer should try multiple MX
records when delivering mail. Zero is the highest preference.
Multiple records for the same name may have the same preference.
Lottor [Page 8]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
A host BAR.FOO.COM may want its mail to be delivered to the host
PO.FOO.COM and would then use the MX record:
BAR.FOO.COM. MX 10 PO.FOO.COM.
A host BAZ.FOO.COM may want its mail to be delivered to one of three
different machines, in the following order:
BAZ.FOO.COM. MX 10 PO1.FOO.COM.
MX 20 PO2.FOO.COM.
MX 30 PO3.FOO.COM.
An entire domain of hosts not connected to the Internet may want
their mail to go through a mail gateway that knows how to deliver
mail to them. If they would like mail addressed to any host in the
domain FOO.COM to go through the mail gateway they might use:
FOO.COM. MX 10 RELAY.CS.NET.
*.FOO.COM. MX 20 RELAY.CS.NET.
Note that you can specify a wildcard in the MX record to match on
anything in FOO.COM, but that it won't match a plain FOO.COM.
IN-ADDR.ARPA
The structure of names in the domain system is set up in a
hierarchical way such that the address of a name can be found by
tracing down the domain tree contacting a server for each label of
the name. Because of this 'indexing' based on name, there is no easy
way to translate a host address back into its host name.
In order to do the reverse translation easily, a domain was created
that uses hosts' addresses as part of a name that then points to the
data for that host. In this way, there is now an 'index' to hosts'
RRs based on their address. This address mapping domain is called
IN-ADDR.ARPA. Within that domain are subdomains for each network,
based on network number. Also, for consistency and natural
groupings, the 4 octets of a host number are reversed.
For example, the ARPANET is net 10. That means there is a domain
called 10.IN-ADDR.ARPA. Within this domain there is a PTR RR at
51.0.0.10.IN-ADDR that points to the RRs for the host SRI-NIC.ARPA
(who's address is 10.0.0.51). Since the NIC is also on the MILNET
(Net 26, address 26.0.0.73), there is also a PTR RR at 73.0.0.26.IN-
ADDR.ARPA that points to the same RR's for SRI-NIC.ARPA. The format
of these special pointers is defined below along with the examples
for the NIC.
Lottor [Page 9]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
PTR
<special-name> [<ttl>] [<class>] PTR <name>
The PTR record is used to let special names point to some other
location in the domain tree. They are mainly used in the IN-
ADDR.ARPA records for translation of addresses to names. PTR's
should use official names and not aliases.
For example, host SRI-NIC.ARPA with addresses 10.0.0.51 and 26.0.0.73
would have the following records in the respective zone files for net
10 and net 26:
51.0.0.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA. PTR SRI-NIC.ARPA.
73.0.0.26.IN-ADDR.ARPA. PTR SRI-NIC.ARPA.
GATEWAY PTR's
The IN-ADDR tree is also used to locate gateways on a particular
network. Gateways have the same kind of PTR RRs as hosts (as above)
but in addition they have other PTRs used to locate them by network
number alone. These records have only 1, 2, or 3 octets as part of
the name depending on whether they are class A, B, or C networks,
respectively.
Lets take the SRI-CSL gateway for example. It connects 3 different
networks, one class A, one class B and one class C. It will have the
standard RR's for a host in the CSL.SRI.COM zone:
GW.CSL.SRI.COM. A 10.2.0.2
A 128.18.1.1
A 192.12.33.2
Also, in 3 different zones (one for each network), it will have one
of the following number to name translation pointers:
2.0.2.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA. PTR GW.CSL.SRI.COM.
1.1.18.128.IN-ADDR.ARPA. PTR GW.CSL.SRI.COM.
1.33.12.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA. PTR GW.CSL.SRI.COM.
In addition, in each of the same 3 zones will be one of the following
gateway location pointers:
10.IN-ADDR.ARPA. PTR GW.CSL.SRI.COM.
18.128.IN-ADDR.ARPA. PTR GW.CSL.SRI.COM.
33.12.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA. PTR GW.CSL.SRI.COM.

INSTRUCTIONS
Adding a subdomain.
To add a new subdomain to your domain:
Setup the other domain server and/or the new zone file.
Add an NS record for each server of the new domain to the zone
file of the parent domain.
Add any necessary glue RRs.
Adding a host.
To add a new host to your zone files:
Edit the appropriate zone file for the domain the host is in.
Add an entry for each address of the host.
Optionally add CNAME, HINFO, WKS, and MX records.
Add the reverse IN-ADDR entry for each host address in the
appropriate zone files for each network the host in on.
Deleting a host.
To delete a host from the zone files:
Remove all the hosts' resource records from the zone file of
the domain the host is in.
Remove all the hosts' PTR records from the IN-ADDR zone files
for each network the host was on.
Adding gateways.
Follow instructions for adding a host.
Add the gateway location PTR records for each network the
gateway is on.
Deleting gateways.
Follow instructions for deleting a host.
Also delete the gateway location PTR records for each network
Lottor [Page 11]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
the gateway was on.
COMPLAINTS
These are the suggested steps you should take if you are having
problems that you believe are caused by someone else's name server:
1. Complain privately to the responsible person for the domain. You
can find their mailing address in the SOA record for the domain.
2. Complain publicly to the responsible person for the domain.
3. Ask the NIC for the administrative person responsible for the
domain. Complain. You can also find domain contacts on the NIC in
the file NETINFO:DOMAIN-CONTACTS.TXT
4. Complain to the parent domain authorities.
5. Ask the parent authorities to excommunicate the domain.
Lottor [Page 12]
RFC 1033 DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE November 1987
EXAMPLE DOMAIN SERVER DATABASE FILES
The following examples show how zone files are set up for a typical
organization. SRI will be used as the example organization. SRI has
decided to divided their domain SRI.COM into a few subdomains, one
for each group that wants one. The subdomains are CSL and ISTC.
Note the following interesting items:
There are both hosts and domains under SRI.COM.
CSL.SRI.COM is both a domain name and a host name.
All the domains are serviced by the same pair of domain servers.
All hosts at SRI are on net 128.18 except hosts in the CSL domain
which are on net 192.12.33. Note that a domain does not have to
correspond to a physical network.
The examples do not necessarily correspond to actual data in use
by the SRI domain.

APPENDIX
BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain server) distributed with 4.3 BSD
UNIX
This section describes two BIND implementation specific files; the
boot file and the cache file. BIND has other options, files, and
specifications that are not described here. See the Name Server
Operations Guide for BIND for details.
The boot file for BIND is usually called "named.boot". This
corresponds to file "CONFIG.CMD" in the example section.
--------------------------------------------------------
cache . named.ca
primary SRI.COM SRI.ZONE
primary CSL.SRI.COM CSL.ZONE
primary ISTC.SRI.COM ISTC.ZONE
primary 18.128.IN-ADDR.ARPA SRINET.ZONE
primary 33.12.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA SRI-CSL-NET.ZONE
--------------------------------------------------------
The cache file for BIND is usually called "named.ca". This
corresponds to file "ROOT.SERVERS" in the example section.
