Section 4.2 Murdoch Sub-domains

The allocation of Murdoch sub-domains for use in the naming of Web Servers shall be managed to ensure that sub-domains are appropriately and consistently assigned.

The allocation of Murdoch sub-domains shall be coordinated by the MurdochNet Coordinator and include an application and approval process.

The Communications Services section, Office of Information Technology Services shall check all proposed Murdoch sub-domains to ensure that they will not cause name clashes for users of the Murdoch University Network. (For example, clashes with a WindowsNT domain or workgroup.)
