Title : Considerations for the use of DNS Reverse Mapping
Author(s) : D. Senie, A. Sullivan
Filename : draft-ietf-dnsop-reverse-mapping-considerations-05.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2007-8-20
Mapping of addresses to names is a feature of DNS. Many sites
implement it, many others do not. Some applications attempt to use
it as a part of a security strategy. This document outlines what
should be taken into account when deciding whether to implement
reverse mappings of addresses to names, suggests that site
administrators implement reverse mappings if there are no strong
considerations against such mappings, and provides considerations to
be taken into account when using reverse mappings.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
