I asked my friend Randy who has done a lot of DNS work. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2005 18:06:15 -0800 From: Randy Bush Subject: Re: DNS history? i googled. the first entry seems written by someone who could read rfcs and then add political spin. <http://www.byte.org/one-history-of-dns.pdf> <http://www.ahref.com/guides/industry/199903/0323piouprintable.html> is far too terse and short. nothing else looks interesting i would ask on inter-hist list randy
