Introduction DNS [1][2] is a widely deployed protocol used to, among other things, translate domain names into IP addresses. DNS data can be archived in a format described in RFC 2540 [5], this document describe the registration of a MIME type for this format. 2. MIME type registration of application/dns To: ietf-types@iana.org Subject: Registration of MIME media type application/dns MIME media type name: application MIME subtype name: dns Required parameters: none Optional parameters: none Encoding considerations: 7bit, 8bit or binary Security considerations: This definition identifies the content as being detached DNS information [5]. This data may be security relevant according to [4], or secured information according to [3]. Interoperability considerations: none Published specification: the format of data that could be tagged with this MIME type is documented in RFC 2540 [5]. Applications which use this media type: DNS related software, including software storing and using certificates stored in DNS.
