1. DNS (Domain Name System)
1.1. Caching Resolvers
| Server name: | resolver0.dns.ox.ac.uk | resolver1.dns.ox.ac.uk | resolver2.dns.ox.ac.uk |
| Server IP number: | 129.67.1.1 | 129.67.1.180 | 163.1.2.1 |
| Port number: | 53 (TCP/UDP) | ||
| Status: | Official |
These resolvers should be used by all client systems across the university network. Each client should use at least two for redundancy (preferably not resolver0 and resolver1 together, as these are on the same subnet), and there is little reason not to list all three where possible.
1.2. Authoritative nameservers
| Server name: | auth0.dns.ox.ac.uk | auth1.dns.ox.ac.uk | auth2.dns.ox.ac.uk |
| Server IP number: | 129.67.1.190 | 129.67.1.191 | 163.1.2.190 |
| Port number: | 53 (TCP/UDP) | ||
| Status: | Official |
