[edit] Name service protocol
OK, so what's a name service protocol? Do we need a name service protocol article? --Larry_Sanger
- Possibly referring to a Naming and Directory Service? -- Ff1959 22:48, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Every implementation of a name service has or follows a specific name service protocol. There is no "Name Service Protocol". There are only protocols for name services. Examples of name service protocols are DNS, WINS, NetBIOS. Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 18:43, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] IP address
Someone changed the IP address used in the first example to 208.280.152.2 which is not valid. Anyone know why? Anyone want to change it to something meaningful? BrianAshe (talk) 02:15, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
- Fixed. I rewrote the lede, the explicit mentioning of an IP address, that is subject to change anyhow, is not needed. Kbrose (talk) 18:33, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Not about DNS
information that is specific to DNS belongs in the article for DNS, Domain Name System]. I am moving most DNS specific information to the proper article for that topic, except where DNS is used as an example. Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 18:39, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
