Appendix A
Network and Domain Registration Services

Before your BIND servers can resolve inquiries originating from outside your organization, you need to register:

A.1 Registering Your Network

Before your parent domain delegates your subdomain to you, it will require that you register your network and its in-addr.arpa subdomain.

To check that your network is registered, use one of the following whois services.
ARIN http://www.arin.net/whois/arinwhois.html
APNIC http://www.apnic.net/reg.html
RIPE http://www.ripe.net/db/whois.html

You'll need to register before setting up your in-addr.arpa zones. There currently are three Internet Number registries:
ARIN For the North and South America, the Caribbean, and Sub-Saharan Africa geographical areas
APNIC For Asia and Pacific geographical area
RIPE For the European geographical area

A.1.1 American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)

The American Registry for Internet Numbers is a nonprofit organization that administers and registers Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to the following geographical areas:

See http://www.arin.net/RSA.html to review the American Registry for Internet Numbers, Ltd. Registration Services Agreement.

For questions, contact the ARIN Help Desk. The ARIN Help Desk is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Eastern Time. You can reach ARIN IP Registration Services in one of the following ways:
E-mail hostmaster@arin.net
Phone (703) 227-0660
FAX (703) 227-0676

A.1.1.1 Registration Templates

ARIN templates are located at http://www.arin.net/templates.html.

Use the templates listed in Table A-1 to register your IN-ADDR.ARPA domain, networks, and autonomous systems.

Table A-1 Registration Templates
If Registering This: Use This Template:
Network http://www.arin.net/templates/networktemplate.txt
Autonomous system http://www.arin.net/templates/asntemplate.txt
Reverse-mapping http://www.arin.net/templates/inaddrtemplate.txt
ISP Network http://rs.arin.net/templates/isptemplate.txt

A.1.2 Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC)

APNIC is the nonprofit Internet Registry organization for the Asia Pacific region. Networks that will be connected and located within the geographic region maintained by the Asia Pacific Network Information Center ( http://www.apnic.net/ ) should use the APNIC template located at:


     ftp://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/docs/isp-address-request 

Follow the instructions that APNIC provides for submission of that template. To contact the APNIC:

Mon to Fri (Australian EST, UTC+10:00)

A.1.3 Reseaux IP Europeans (RIPE)

Networks that will be connected and located within the European geographic regions maintained by RIPE ( http://www.ripe.net/ ) should use the European template located at:


    ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/forms/netnum-appl.txt  

Follow the instructions that RIPE provides for submission of that template.

To contact RIPE:
Address RIPE NCC
Singel 258
1016 AB Amsterdam
The Netherlands
Phone +31 20 535 4444
FAX +31 20 535 4445

A.2 Registering Your Domain Name

You need to notify your parent top-level-domain of the servers that are authoritative for your domain name. Depending on the domain of which you are a member, different registration methods may apply.

For members of the generic top-level domains like com and edu, you need to contact the InterNIC.

You can access the InterNIC's web site at http://rs.internic.net for up-to-date information or send mail to:
Address Network Solutions Inc.
ATTN: InterNIC Registration Services
505 Huntmar Park Drive
Herndon, VA 22072


Appendix B
Requests for Comments (RFCs)

The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) of the Internet Society (ISOC) produces numerous protocol standards and operational procedures known as Requests for Comments (RFCS). RFCs are reviewed by appropriate IAB task forces and those RFCs that are destined to become Internet standards progress through a standards track: Proposed Standard, Draft Standard, and Internet Standard.

You may obtain RFCs by e-mail or FTP from many RFC repositories around the world. To obtain information on how to retrieve RFCs, send an e-mail message to: RFC-SERVER@ISI.EDU with the following information:


TO:            RFC-SERVER@ISI.EDU 
SUBJECT:       getting rfcs. 
MESSAGE BODY:  help: ways_to_get_rfcs 

Also, you can visit the following web site:


http://www.rfc-editor.org/ 

Table B-1 lists the RFCs associated with the DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS implementation.
