A Suggested Scheme for DNS Resolution of Networks and Gateways
RFC 4183, “A Suggested Scheme for DNS Resolution of Networks and Gateways”, is an Informational document published in September 2005 by E. Warnicke. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document suggests a method of using DNS to determine the network that contains a specified IP address, the netmask of that network, and the address(es) of first-hop routers(s) on that network. This method supports variable-length subnet masks, delegation of subnets on non-octet boundaries, and multiple routers per subnet. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
