[DNS] Reserved DNS names

From: Glen Turner <glen.turner§adelaide.edu.au> Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 08:51:22 +0000 · This archive was generated by hypermail 2.3.0 : Sat Sep 09 2017 - 22:00:03 UTC

Any chance of changing current or future DNS policy or
practice to never allocate the names:

  .test.X.au
  .example.X.au
  .invalid.X.au
  .localhost.X.au

where X is .com, .edu, .id, .asn, ...

See RFC2606 for a rationale:

  http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/ietf/rfc/rfc2606.txt

The names example.X.au would be particularly useful for
documentation writers.

Cheers,
glen
