[MLB-WIRELESS] Melbwirelses DNS and Domain Names

[Ben Holko]

What I meant was, delegate the sub domain cen.melbourne.wireless.org.au to 2
nameservers inside the private network, but these two machines can talk to
the net.

Although no-one on the net could actually lookup
fred.cen.melbourne.wireless.org.au, the private network could.

Not to mention the fact that as most peoples home networks are connected to
the Internet, how do you propose that people resolve these private names?
Everyone on MW would have to point to the authoritive nameservers for .mw,
and those NS' would then have to proxy REAL DNS queries into the net....

I agree www.blah.melbourne.wireless.org.au is to long to type in, so perhaps
something like www.joeblogs.mw.org.au ????

Not using global public DNS seems ludicrous to me, and is not future proof
at all.

  Ben.

  however if the ips cant be routed route, then they wont be seen from the
outside, unless we become one big bloody nat, and we all know how pretty
they are :D

    yeah, but that matters little. We'd just need a couple of internet
connected nodes that can talk to the mw authoritative nameservers.

      Ben,the only problem with that is that we arent as far as i know using
internet routable address'.

        I like the idea of the region, but I think it's better to use global
DNS
        structure.

        eg: nodexxx.cen.melbourne.wireless.org.au

        So, is there anything happening with regards to some sort of domain
        structure on the network?  Anyone from WGRouting&Addressing looking
at this
        at the moment?

        I've started messing with domain names over our way.  Now bear with
me here
        because I don't know much about it or the terminology....

        Here's a few thoughts.

        We need something we all use that signifies we're melbwireless.
        e.g.  .wan  .mw  .melw

        then perhaps something to signify regional areas.
        e.g. .oef (outer east&foothills) .inn (inner north) .cen (central)

        so you'd end up with something say www.wantirna-ap1.oef.mw

        Now there's of course the other school of thought that we use domain
names
        that fit in with the rest of the world. But my feeling is that this
comes
        back we're going to need globaly routable IP's, etc then....And some
        internet feeds, at which point you're looking at a wireless network
with
        open internet access, which is playing with fire in my opinion.

        What are other peoples thoughts/ideas?
