My employer (part of a large educational institution) is delegated a bunch
of 4LD zones within our org's 3LD space. These are utilised in a flat
fashion, with staff machines, lab machines and servers all present as
hosts inside various 4LDs. One 4LD has literally thousands of
For obvious reasons, I'd like to move at least some stuff into 5LD space,
starting with the labs. However, when I suggested this, my boss shot me
down with "Too much typing. If it's a problem then we should differentiate
at the 4th level."
The only way to deal with that kind of attitude would appear to be a
formal proposal (there are other issues in our DNS that need to be tidied
up, so it's not just a proposal for this one thing), and I want to include
some industry references about best practice in zone structuring. However,
Google's not being kind to me at present. All it wants to tell me about is
AD and MS DNS, and we're using bind so that doesn't translate so well.
Anyone got some guides that I can refer to when I talk about why we
shouldn't be using the 4LD as our functional level for all things?
