Mockapetris [Page 2] RFC 882 November 1983 Domain Names - Concepts and Facilities Elements of the solution The proposed solution has three major components: The DOMAIN NAME SPACE, which is a specification for a tree structured name space.
The domain name given by the owner field of a SOA record is the start of a zone; the domain name given by the owner field of a NS record identifies a point in the name space where authority has been delegated, and hence marks the zone boundary.

 DNS inventor says cure to net identity problems is right under our nose - TechUpdate - ZDNet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Mockapetris was a key figure in the development of the Domain Name System, the Internet protocol that maps domain names like zdnet.com to IP addresses like 206.16.6.208.
Although others were involved with the development of the DNS, Mockapetris wrote the protocol, and for this contribution he was recently awarded the prestigious IEEE Internet Award.
Mockapetris argues that a work-in-progress extension to the DNS specification called DNSSEC is what makes the DNS up to the task of solving most of the identity related issues on the Internet.

He had recognised the problem in the early Internet (then ARPAnet) of holding name to address translations in a single table on a single host, andinstead proposed a distributed and dynamic DNS database: essentially DNS as we have it today.

 DNS Turns 20 - Inventor looks at past, future   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Mockapetris estimates there are now about 1 billion DNS names, including nearly 200 million public names and others that belong to systems behind firewalls whose names are not made public.
Looking for a way to keep track of all the phone numbers in the world so IP voice calls could be routed properly, the developers of the Enum standard turned to DNS and added software to it to handle the problem.
But Mockapetris, currently a visiting scholar at USC's Jon Postel Center for Experimental Networking, named for the late researcher, says DNS is overdue for beefing up in a few areas, namely security and support for languages that use different character sets.

 Inventor looks to DNS's past, future - Computerworld
Paul Mockapetris is surprised that the Domain Name System (DNS) hasn't changed more in the 20 years since he invented it, but he doesn't expect it to run out of steam any time soon.
The chief scientist and chairman of the board at IP address software vendor Nominum Inc. created DNS in 1983 and ran the first successful test of it 20 years ago this week, laying one of the foundations for the Internet as we know it.
Since it was stabilized, with a few additions DNS has been able to grow with the Internet and go beyond just computer addresses to handle phone numbers and even radio frequency identification tags on products.
