Hi Bryce,

Interesting. This is the second reply which wishes to use reverse DNS in this fashion, the first being from Rick Taylor. The thing is, reverse DNS is not exactly a user facing function. One goal of this effort is to allow interoperability across worlds with a similar user experience, based on similar concepts and primitives.

If you were to ask around the office, most folks working with you understand how to access a URL with a domain name. Similarly, most will never have heard of reverse DNS, and what it is used for. I am sure you see the issue here.

I agree that reverse DNS mappings could be a useful part of the BP naming ecosystem, just as dedicated RRTYPEs will be. What is unclear is how this will make for an understood and familiar experience for the off-world internet user?

Thanks,
ScottJ

Just spitballing, but instead of a new TLD, what about
"{earth,moon,mars}.sol.arpa" as your suffix? 

This seems like it's right in the wheelhouse of the "Address Resolution
Parameter Area"...

Subject: [dtn] An Interplanetary DNS Model  
Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the 4-way cross posting, but I wanted to reach all of those
parties who may have interest.

I have published an internet-draft version of a document I have been
privately publishing, in order that the community may understand, pick
apart, improve, and fill in the blanks.  This is in response to
community
interest and related efforts, in order that we best arrive at a
standardized practice and architecture for Interplanetary Internet
communications.  I welcome and look forward to comments which could
help
us reach this laudable goal.  I am not sure of the exact venue for WG
adoption, given the scope of the concepts.  As such will I refrain from
asking for WG adoption at this time, pending discussion from the DTN
and
DNS communities.

Please find the draft here:

I would also be interested in revisiting Marc Blanchet's smtp and http
over BP related drafts in the light of the above document, to see if
adaptation can be made to make these efforts dovetail together.

Thanks to all,
Scott Johnson
