HINFO - Host Information
Return to FAQ/Help System menu
A HINFO-record specifies the host / server's type of CPU and operating system.
This information can be used by application protocols such as FTP, which use special procedures when communicating with computers of a known CPU and operating system type.
Standard CPU and operating system types are defined in RFC1700 (Page 206 / 214).
The standard for a Windows PC is "INTEL-386" / "WIN32".
You can use the HINFO-record in the Raw form only on our servers.
The format in which to enter the data is as follows:
Raw form:
@ 86400 HINFO "INTEL-386" "win32"
Where @ is the root zone name, 86400 is the TTL,
INTEL-386 is the CPU type and the WIN32 is the OS.
