Windows 2000 DNS Server

The DNS Server that ships with Windows 2000 is compliant with RFCs 1034 and 1035. It also supports the following RFCs:

• RFC1122, “Requirements for Internet Hosts—Communication Layers” http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1122.txt

  This RFC outlines how software vendors should develop and configure Internet host software at the lower layers of the OSI Model (Transport, Network, and Data Link). This covers protocols such as ARP, IP, ICMP, IGMP, TCP, and UDP.

• RFC1123, “Requirements for Internet Hosts—Application and Support” http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1123.txt

  A companion to RFC1122, this RFC outlines how software vendors should develop and configure Internet host software at the upper layers of the OSI Model (Application, Presentation, and Session). This covers protocols such as Telnet, SMTP, FTP, TFTP, and DNS.

• RFC1886, “DNS Extensions to Support IPv6” http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1886.txt
