+MX12.Victor.SE (currently 158.174.114.186, also known as DNS.Chaosnet.NET) acts as a root DNS server for the CHaosnet class.
 It currently hosts the following domains:
-  * CH-ADDR.NET, which contains Chaosnet address mappings (similar to "IN-ADDR.ARPA").
+  * CH-ADDR.NET, which contains Chaosnet address mappings (corresponding to "IN-ADDR.ARPA").
   * Chaosnet.NET with Chaosnet infrastructure stuff and "homeless" hosts

   * Victor.SE for Björn Victor

 In the Chaosnet [[https://github.com/bictorv/chaosnet-bridge|bridge program]], there is support for a ''DNS'' server over Chaosnet (using a "simple" connectionless protocol and forwarding/recursion over UDP) so Chaos-only hosts can make use of it. See [[https://github.com/bictorv/chaosnet-bridge/blob/master/CONTACTS.md|cbridge documentation]] for a protocol description.
-At DNS.Chaosnet.NET, there is also a server for the ''DOMAIN'' contact name which allows DNS queries over a stream connection, lifting the response size limit of the simple protocol (488 bytes). This contact is more standard, used by Symbolics lisp machines, and (soon) by the [[https://www.bogodyne.com|Bogodyne]] lisp system.

 Example (NOTE that the address is in octal, and that the class is typically redundant):
-^ name ^ class ^ type & domain ^ address ^

 The address domain contains pointer records, just like IN-ADDR.ARPA does.

 Network names also appear in CH-ADDR.NET, in the spirit of [[rfc>1101|RFC 1101]]. They are at labels corresponding to the subnet address with zero host part, e.g. 400.CH-ADDR.NET for subnet 1, 3000.CH-ADDR.NET for subnet 6, etc.
