        Title:      DNS NSAP Resource Records
        Author:     B. Manning & R. Colella

The Internet is moving towards the deployment of an OSI lower layers
infrastructure. This infrastructure comprises the connectionless
network protocol (CLNP) and supporting routing protocols.  Also
required as part of this infrastructure is support in the Domain Name
System (DNS) for mapping between names and NSAP addresses.  This
document defines the format of one new Resource Record (RR) for the
DNS for domain name-to-NSAP mapping.  The RR may be used with any NSAP
address format.  This document supercedes RFC 1348.  NSAP-to-name
translation is accomplished through use of the PTR RR (see STD 13, RFC
1035 for a description of the PTR RR).  This paper describes how PTR
RRs are used to support this translation.

This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
