What is a Domain?

Esther Dyson’s “What is in a Domain Name?” reminded me of the excellent and classic paper by Mark R. Horton, “What is a Domain?” written back in 1984. Although old, it is a classic you can share with people who want to start learning more.

  Thanks! It seems that the DNSRD is down, which is a pitty really. I copied the link to the article from Wikipedia, and since I’ve already had my copy of the paper for years, I did not check whether it was working :(
  
  I’ve always thought of the DNSRD as one of those sites that will stay up forever.
