Fred--thanks for the info.
Elise and I will look at it this afternoon and drop you an update after the
problem is fixed.
Wael--in the interim, you can submit the request directly to Theresa (which
she probably has seen as part of this e-mail, anyway).

Operational Contacts for the Requested DNS Subdomain<br>
<br>
</font><font face="arial" size=2><br>
The accuracy of the contact information specified below is <b>very important</b>. This contact information will be used by IS teams such as the Network Security or Network Operations Teams in cases of known emergencies, outages, or security problems that may be emanating from or affecting the customer DLC or office. Therefore, it is critical that you account for redundancy and ensure the right individuals on your end are represented.<br><br>
We suggest that DLCs or offices establish and maintain a central mailing list and specify it as the contact e-mail to ensure all relevant parties are notified. Instructions for creating and maintaining mailing lists at MIT are available on-line. We additionally require two individiuals' names and contact information as a precaution, especially in cases when e-mail communication is not possible.<br><br>

Requested DNS subdomains will reside under the .ms.mit.edu level. Since each DNS subdomain at this level needs a unique name, you are being asked to provide a preferred name and two alternatives in case the original is already in use. It is <b>strongly</b> suggested that DLCs and offices opt for <i>descriptive</i> and <i>short (typically 10 characters or less)</i> DNS subdomain names in order to minimize confusion and technical issues. For example, <i>cis </i>(for the fictitious <i>Central Information Services Department</i>) or <i>records</i> (for the fictitious <i>Office of Important Records</i>), making the fully qualified domains <i>cis.ms.mit.edu</i> and <i>records.ms.mit.edu</i> are good choices, whereas <i>centralinformationservicesdept</i> for the former fictitious department is a bad one.<br><br>
DNS Subdomain Name and DNS Server Information<br><br>
You are also required to provide two IP addresses, corresponding to those of the DNS servers which will be responsible for the delegated DNS subdomain. If you are following the recommendations in the <a href="http://mit.edu/windows/server/request/independentdomainprimer/index.html">Primer for Independent Windows 2000 Domains on MITnet</a>, these are probably also the domain controllers for your Windows 2000 domain (but not necessarily). We require two DNS servers to ensure redundancy.<br><br>
