DNS Management for DataONE Nodes

Naming of VM Host Hardware

VM hosts, that is, the hardware installations that will be used to host virtual machines (typically for CNs but also for other supporting services) are named using a pattern of:

host-<location>-<id>.dataone.org

where:

<location>:A common abbreviation for the hosting institution. For example: unm = University of New Mexico, ucsb = University of California Santa Barbara, orc = Oak Ridge Campus
<id>:An identifier to distinguish between multiple hardware hosts at an institution. For example “1”.
Examples:host-unm-1.dataone.org, host-ucsb-1.dataone.org

Naming of Coordinating Nodes

Coordinating nodes will be named with a pattern of:

cn-[<env>-]<location>-<id>.dataone.org

where:

<env>:An indicator of the environment in which the node will be participating. For example, “dev” for development, “sandbox” for the sandbox, and “stage” for staging. No environment indicator implies participation in the production environment.
<location>:A common abbreviation for the hosting institution. For example: unm = University of New Mexico, ucsb = University of California Santa Barbara, orc = Oak Ridge Campus
<id>:An identifier to distinguish between multiple hardware CNs at an institution. For example “1”.

Current Situation (mid 2010)

DNS is managed entirely by NCEAS through the servers:

ns1.nceas.ucsb.edu 128.111.220.18
ns2.nceas.ucsb.edu 128.111.220.16

Note

This should change in the future as it is a single point of failure. Need to investigate commercial solution or perhaps a joint agreement between CN host organizations to support DNS entries for dataone.org.

Current entries (2012-01-04):
