It is after 15 Jul 85. "dk" is no longer a hostname. There is
just a node in the DNS tree with a A record attached which has no

RFC 921 (1984)
Names
The names are being changed from simple names, or globally unique
strings, to structured names, where each component name is unique
only with respect to the superior component name.
15 Jul 85 Implementation of the Domain Naming System Completed

and the use of the servers by this date. All programs that
