Distributing Authoritative Name Servers via Shared Unicast Addresses
RFC 3258, “Distributing Authoritative Name Servers via Shared Unicast Addresses”, is an Informational document published in April 2002 by T. Hardie. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo describes a set of practices intended to enable an authoritative name server operator to provide access to a single named server in multiple locations. The primary motivation for the development and deployment of these practices is to increase the distribution of Domain Name System (DNS) servers to previously under- served areas of the network topology and to reduce the latency for DNS query responses in those areas. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
