This memo defines a new DNS RR type for experimental purposes. This RFC describes a mechanism to allow the DNS to carry location information about hosts, networks, and subnets. Such information for a small subset of hosts is currently contained in the flat-file UUCP maps. However, just as the DNS replaced the use of HOSTS.TXT to carry host and network address information, it is possible to replace the UUCP maps as carriers of location information.

Securing Domain Name System Combined with MIPv6 for Mobile Hosts
TRUSTCOM '13: Proceedings of the 2013 12th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and CommunicationsDNS is the standard mechanism for name to IP address resolution. The DNS has been extended to DNSSEC to add security by providing origin authentication and data integrity by the process of creating signatures periodically, which results in intensive ...
