Problems, Goals and a Fix for Domain Names

Problems, Goals and a Fix for Domain Names

This set of essays offers a detailed look at the problems behind the internet Domain Name Service (DNS). It includes an analysis of the problem, an examination of the goals people have for DNS, and a solution to the question of how to design a working naming system for the internet.

Note: Most of these essays were written in 2001 or earlier and so some are out of date, but many of the points remain valid.
