Abstract

Internet users hope that some of names in the DNS name space can get the same DNS resolution results. With the development of internationalized domain name (IDN) protocols, more and more IDNs including Chinese domain names are added into the DNS name space and many of them are expected to be identical in the DNS resolution. How to make the DNS name resolution equivalence becomes more critical. Current solutions including CNAME and DNAME can not solve this problem. This paper proposes a MNAME solution for DNS names identical resolution.
