Home Service NLIA NLIA Name Server

01. Overview The NLIA name server converts the domain name requested by the existing DNS user into the network resources (e.g., A(IPv4), MX(Mail eXchange) or AAAA(IPv6)). The NLIA name server supports NLIA, and also performs the role of the existing DNS. 02. Process 03. Environment 04. Main functions 05. Features and advantages 06. Others 01. Overview 02. Process The NLIA name server provides the existing name server function, and if the query of the keyword type is entered or if the multi-language domain name is requested, it also guides the query to the server that can handle the query. 03. Environment 04. Main functions 05. Features and advantages 06. Others 01. Overview 02. Process 03. Environment Netpia.com's NLIA name server is based on BIND 8.X or 9.X new version of ISC (Internet Software Consortium). ISC's BIND is adopted and operated by most of the servers as a name server program, and is proven for stability and performance. The NLIA name server has additional NLIA process function and improved performance. However, environment for installation and operation is the same as ISC's BIND. You can upgrade and use the existing BIND based name server software program of ISP or corporations without any change of environment. 04. Main functions 05. Features and advantages 06. Others 01. Overview 02. Process 03. Environment 04. Main functions The NLIA name server supports the following functions. Processes domain name including 8 Bit. Identifies keyword and guides to the NLIA resolution server.     Recognizes the domain name without www excluding dot as the keyword. Recognizes the domain name not ended with gTLD or ccTLD as     the keyword. 05. Features and advantages 06. Others 01. Overview 02. Process 03. Environment 04. Main functions 05. Features and advantages The NLIA name server supports the NLIA service in the keyword format as well as the existing English domain. The NLIA name server maintains the existing name server function for     domain processing. If you have used the BIND name server, you can change the server to the NLIA name server without changing the environment and deterioration of performance. You can also easily migrate the system from other name server. The NLIA name server supports the NLIA service. The hierarchical domain system of the existing DNS system is inconvenient to use and does not support the native languages. Recently released IDN (Internationalized Domain Name) also has the problems such as inconvenience of hierarchical structure, difficulty to enter native language mixed with English and the plug-in based service. The NLIA name server solves the problems and supports the 3rd generation Internet address and NLIA. The NLIA name server supports IDN.     The server also supports English + native language IDN. The NLIA name server supports both the hierarchical domain and keyword     Internet address. The server supports the hierarchical domain as well as     the keyword NLIA. 06. Others 01. Overview 02. Process 03. Environment 04. Main functions 05. Features and advantages 06. Others Because minimum modification is made to ISCs BIND, there is not much difference in functions, performance and stability between the NLIA name server and ISCs BIND. However, the added functions improve performance of the server. As Internet spreads worldwide, queries made to DNS are not limited to the hierarchical English domains such as www.netpia.com. The queries are made to DNS for all the host names, waiting for the results. The queries also include various dummy values and 8bit codes. In the existing DNS, the queries are reattempted to the upper layer server several times, which give considerable amount of load. The NLIA name server gives reply for the values in no time, reduces the number of queries made to the upper layer name server, minimizes load and increases stability. Like Internet, DNS has sustained a stable growth from the initial service. Performance and stability of ISC DNS are proven via program upgrade and numbers of patches. The NLIA name server software program has been supplied to may domestic/overseas ISPs since 2000, and is proven through field service. It has been in service without any problem via continuous version management. The NLIA name server has additional functions to ISC BIND, and the additional functions increase performance and stability of ISC BIND.
