I don't know any Official Policies but I suspect that news.sysadmin is a bad place since it's for administrators of Usenet -- not of the Internet. In article <1886@kodak.UUCP> you write: >Distribution: na >Organization: Kodak Research, Rochester NY > >What is the common practice in connecting to Internet when a >commercial organization has geographically-dispersed research sites? I know that lots of companies have their own internal networks which they use for internal business. I think it'd be rather unfriendly to use NSFnet for internal business but I don't know of any Official Policy which'd prohibit that. >Does each research site connect independently to its closest >consortium (NYSERnet, NEARnet, etc)? I know that DEC's machines are connected to Cypress, BARRnet and some NSFnet in the DC area -- at least. DECWRL is on Cypress & BARRnet and the decuac machine is in the DC area. I don't see anything stopping you from joining more than one consortium. On the other hand I know that Nysernet has members outside of NY State and you might think that's outside their jurisdiction ... >Is there a domain-name problem? >Can each of the company's research sites share the parent company's >domain-name, even if widely separated, as westcoast.poobarcorp.com, >eastcost.poobarcorp.com, sunbelt.poobarcorp.com...., even if joining >several consortia means that there is no common gateway machine? No problem here at all! You could, for instance, declare a kodak.com gateway and for any sub-domains which you want explicit gateways for declare them as you need... all with MX records or usenet entries or whatever. -- <- David Herron; an MMDF guy <- ska: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <- By all accounts, Cyprus (or was it Crete?) was covered with trees at one time <- -- Until they discovered Bronze -- <- David Herron; an MMDF guy <- ska: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <- By all accounts, Cyprus (or was it Crete?) was covered with trees at one time <- -- Until they discovered Bronze
