Introduction
This RFC defines the format of new Resource Records (RRs) for the
Domain Name System (DNS), and reserves corresponding DNS type
mnemonics and numerical codes. The definitions are in three
independent sections: (1) location of AFS database servers, (2)
location of responsible persons, and (3) representation of X.25 and
ISDN addresses and route binding. All are experimental.
This RFC assumes that the reader is familiar with the DNS [3,4]. The
data shown is for pedagogical use and does not necessarily reflect
the real Internet.
