Host naming and DNS updates
- DNS server quick reference:
- For systems that use CS directory services, you need to be able to access the CS SRV records so:
- in DC use: 172.19.32.5, 172.19.32.6 and 172.19.47.6
- in MC use: 172.19.47.5, 172.19.47.6 and 172.19.32.6
- If the client OS doesn't need CS directory services, or if the client supports more than three severs, add the IST servers 129.97.2.1 and 129.97.2.2. Note that previous IST DNS adddresses (128.100, 128.10, 129.10 etc) are all deprecated and should not be used.
- There is public DNS documentation at http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/software/dns/ to which users can be referred.
- See https://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/internal/edocs/Documentation/DNS-implementation-guide/ for details of the architecture of our DNS service.
