Summary
Domains refer to Internet domains such as "stanford.edu" and "yahoo.com".
-
Associated Fields:
-
Name - Domain
names must obey Internet naming conventions: only alphanumeric characters
and hyphens are allowed. Neither leading nor trailing hyphens are allowed.
Note that once a domain has been created, the domain name cannot be
changed except for its case.
Limited - If "yes", this
Domain can only contain names from a short list. This list includes
names like "www" and "ftp".
Delegated - This must be set to
"yes" for domains that have name server (NS) records in the DNS.
Use as Name Groups - Users with
rights to these groups, can use this domain name as a node name or MX.
For instance, "cs.stanford.edu" could be both a node name and
a domain name. A user must have rights to at least one of these groups
to create a node name or MX that matches this domain name. Having "All
Groups" is not sufficient.
Assign Name Groups - Users with rights
to these groups can create names using this domain.
Comment - Useful information can
be added here. This field is searchable with Full Search. Only printable
characters are valid for comments. Printable characters are letters,
numbers, punctuation, and spaces. For example, the carriage return is
not a printable character.
Group - This Domain can only be
modified or deleted by users with rights to this group and rights to
domain records.
-
Special Domains
-
.SUNet - Names in the domain
".SUNet" are only resolved for
Stanford hosts. This is useful for hosts in private
address spaces which are not reachable from the Internet.
.NoDomain - Names in the domain ".NoDomain" are never included
in the DNS. This is useful for Advanced nodes whose node name is
irrelevant because of its interface or IP address names.
