Search Again: Re: Multilingual domains From: Men & Mice Support Date: Thursday, March 1, 2001 Time: 4:11:59 pm QuickDNS Pro doesn't yet support multilingual domains. No standard has yet been established by IETF for international domain names. For further info see: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/idn-charter.html The companies that are now allowing registration using these characters are doing so to allow for reservation of international domain names. The names thus registered don't appear anywhere in the domain name system - they're just reserved. VeriSign (owner of Network Solutions) is currently hosting a Multilingual Domain Names Testbed. For more information on this testbed see: http://www.verisign-grs.com/ Basically, the approach they're taking is to use the ACE method to encode UTF formatted domain names into ASCII format. This will allow current DNS servers to support the multilingual domain names without any modification, but the encoding from UTF to ACE must take place on the client, either at application or OS level. We are closely following the progress regarding International DNS and we plan to support whichever method becomes a standard. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
