DNS Encoding of Network Names and other Types

This RFC proposes two extensions to the Domain Name System:- A specific method for entering and retrieving RRs which map between network names and numbers.- Ideas for a general method for describing mappings between arbitrary identifiers and numbers. The method for mapping between network names and addresses is a proposed standard, the ideas for a general method are experimental. This RFC assumes that the reader is familiar with the DNS [RFC 1034, RFC 1035] and its use. The data shown is for pedagogical use and does not necessarily reflect the real Internet.
