About Registering Host Names

Log in to the Managed DNS Administration Page and register host names by following the instructions below.

When Registering a Virtual Host Name Used with the Managed WWW Server Service
  1. Log in to the Managed DNS Administration Page.
    (The account and password are sent by email to the technical liaison.)
  2. Click the "DNS EDITOR" icon.
  3. Click the zone (domain) under which you want to register the host.
  4. Click the "NameAlias" icon.
  5. In the "Add Name Alias Record" section, enter the following information and click the "Create" button:
    • Name : virtual-host-name. (be sure to append a trailing period)
    • Real Name : hosting-server-name. (be sure to append a trailing period)
    • User : SCP user name
  6. Finish editing and log out.

It takes some time for the changes to take effect. Once they do, access http://[virtual host name] in your browser; if the test page is displayed, the registration is complete.

Configuring Classless Reverse Delegation

For the reverse lookup of 131.112.xxx.yyy/24, if you want to manage only part of the network — such as the range 131.112.xxx.0–63 — there are two methods:

  1. In the xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa zone, create a child user and grant edit permission for the range 0–63 to that child user.
  2. Create a 0-63.xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa zone.

Note that, for method 2, configuration is also required on the parent zone xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa, so please consult the administrator of the parent zone.

Details for Method 2
  1. Prepare the 0-63.xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa. zone.
    If you use the Managed DNS Server Service, apply with the reverse-lookup zone name 0-63.xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa.
  2. Ask the administrator of the parent zone (xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa.) to apply the following configuration.
    If you have been assigned a smaller subnet (smaller than /24) under your network application, please contact the Network Systems Group.
  3. In the xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa. zone file, please add the following:
1 IN CNAME 1.0-64.xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa.
2 IN CNAME 2.0-64.xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa.
　　　　　：
63 IN CNAME 63.0-64.xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa. 　　　
0-63 IN NS "host name of the DNS server that holds the 0-63.xxx.112.131 zone"

(If you use the Managed DNS Server Service, this is dns-o.net.titech.ac.jp.)
  1. Register PTR records and so on in the 0-64.xxx.112.131.in-addr.arpa. zone.
