Spelling: DNSConvention
IMPORTER NOTES: This was _mesh best current practice_ on the old wiki.
Let the debate begin anew, or the WINNER IS...
DNS
Nodes that desire a DNS name should use
host.suburb.state.country.wlan(?)
Options to consider
* use HOST.SUBURB.STATE.COUNTRY.WLAN (although this requires a split
DNS root, all hosts in mesh must use mesh DNS so that .wlan domain can
be captured, other domains forwarded to ICANN root. Also, multiple
hosts at one node will all have different unreltated names)
* use HOST.NODE.SUBURB.STATE.COUNTRY.WLAN (starting to get unwieldy)
* use delegation NODE.WIRELESS.ORG.AU, e.g. cia.wireless.org.au, and
hosts fall within that, e.g. gw.cia.wireless.org.au (don't have the
problems with split DNS root then...)
