About the Java platform Java like naming convention other meanings Reverse DNS disambiguation The reverse domain name system , or Reverse DNS , is a system for naming components, packages, or types in computer systems. A characteristic of reverse DNS strings is that they are based on registered domain name s, and are only reversed for sorting purposes. For example, if a company making a product called MyProduct has the registered domain name example.com , they could use the reverse DNS string com.example.MyProduct to describe it. History Reverse DNS first became widely used with the Java platform , and has since been used for other systems. Examples Examples of systems that use Reverse DNS are Sun Microsystems Java platform and Apple Inc. Apple s Uniform Type Identifier . Example of reverse DNS strings are com.adobe.postscript font Uniform Type Identifier UTI string for Adobe Systems s PostScript fonts com.apple.ostype Uniform Type Identifier UTI string for Apple Inc.

Onesource date June 2009 In computer networking , split horizon DNS , split view DNS , or split brain DNS is the facility of a Domain Name System DNS implementation to provide different sets of DNS information, selected by, usually, the source address of the DNS request. This facility can provide a mechanism for security and privacy management by logical or physical separation of DNS information for network internal access within an administrative domain , e.g., company and access from an insecure, public network e.g. the Internet . Implementation of split horizon DNS can be accomplished with hardware based separation or by software solutions. Hardware based implementations run distinct DNS server devices for the desired access granularity within the networks involved. Software solutions use either multiple DNS server processes on the same hardware or special server software with the built in capability of discriminating access to DNSzone records. The latter is a common feature of many server software implementations of the DNS protocol cf.
