Overview

When you set up servers such as mail servers or web servers in your domain and assign names to them, you need to operate a DNS server (name server). (This is different from the DNS server [resolver] that is configured on each client device.)

This service provides the preparation, management, and maintenance of the DNS server, with the aim of reducing the burden on server administrators. As a result, the server administrator's work is limited to editing DNS records.

For DNS record editing, we also provide a system that allows you to write to the DNS server through a web browser. This service is operated on the following two DNS servers:

  • dns-o.net.titech.ac.jp (131.112.125.54)
  • dns-s.net.titech.ac.jp (131.112.181.55)

Fees

There is no charge for the Managed DNS Server Service. You can use it free of charge.

  1. Application
    Please apply via the application form.
    • If you are using the service for a department or laboratory, please confirm with the administrator/designated liaison of the parent domain before applying.
  2. Notification of Service Start
    • Once preparation is complete, we will notify you by email to the designated liaison and the technical liaison mailing list.
    • The email body contains the URL of the Box folder where the approval certificate is stored.
    • Be sure to download the approval certificate within the validity period.
    • Only one user account is issued per domain, so please handle it with care.
      (If multiple people will manage it, please coordinate the method among the administrators.)

Managed DNS Administration Page

To allow you to experience the operation procedure, we provide a test account [username: test / password: test] for you to try.
* Manual logout of the test account is not possible. Please clear your browser cache, or simply wait for the automatic logout that occurs after a period of inactivity.

Application Form

This service is available to academic/administrative units, or to organizations approved by such a unit. Before applying, please confirm the unit domain and usage policies within each unit.

  • Departments, smaller units, laboratories, and the like cannot use xxx.isct.ac.jp.
    • If you wish to use a unit domain, please consult the designated liaison of the unit domain.
    • Depending on the policy of each unit, candidates such as xxx.unit-domain.isct.ac.jp or xxx.department.unit-domain.isct.ac.jp may be possible.
    • For cross-departmental courses, projects, or other cases where a unit domain is not appropriate, please consider using xxx.p.isct.ac.jp or xxx.i.isct.ac.jp. For domain applications, please see here.
  • If you are already using the School of Science and Engineering (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology) domain titech.ac.jp, the Institute of Science Tokyo isct.ac.jp zone will be added under your current account.
  • If you wish to use the Mail Domain Forwarding Service, please check the following:
    • Please apply for the Managed DNS Server Service first, confirm the approval email from the NOC, and then apply for the Mail Domain Forwarding Service.
    • The Mail Domain Forwarding Service is managed by a different team, so a separate application is required.
    • For details, please see Science Tokyo Gmail > Mail Domain Forwarding Service.
