Abstract

It has become clear that many users would like to use the DNS resolution system for names which do not have meaning in the global context but do have meaning in a context internal to their network. This document reserves the string ".internal" for this purpose. [ Ed note: Text inside square brackets ([]) is additional background information, answers to frequently asked questions, general musings, etc. They will be removed before publication. RFC Editor: Please remove these before publication. ] [ This document is being collaborated on in Github at: https://github.com/wkumari/draft-wkumari-dnsop-internal. The most recent version of the document, open issues, etc should all be available here. The authors (gratefully) accept pull requests ] [ Ed note: This document is intended to drive discussion. It is clear that there has been a desire for an "RFC 1918-style" TLD for a long time; in its absence, people have just started using whatever seemed convenient. This document requests that the allocation of .internal for this use. There is no existing process for this - some of the purpose of this document is to explore the process implications. ]
