Section 4.4.4 Functions, Services, Applications, Systems or Publications Web Server Alias Naming Convention
The use a title of a function, service, application, system
or publication as an alias without the standard prefix www is now an accepted practice, driven primarily by marketing and
publicity concerns (eg. alumni.murdoch.edu.au;
handbook.murdoch.edu.au; myinfo.murdoch.edu.au; proxy.murdoch.edu.au; webmail.murdoch.edu.au).
The agreed naming convention for functions, services,
applications, systems or publications is:
- the
title of the function, service, application, system or publication in the
format of title.murdoch.edu.au,
eg. search.murdoch.edu.au
The preferred format for an alias assigned to a function,
service, application, or system, shall be
title.murdoch.edu.au
This format shall also be applied to Servers run for a short
term purposes such as competitions either run by the University, or in which
the University is participating (eg. win.murdoch.edu.au,
yam.murdoch.edu.au).
It is recommended that for the purposes of constructing
aliases, the title of a function, service, application, system or publication
should be treated as if it were a computer host on the murdoch.edu.au domain.
Requests to use an alternative format with the standard
prefix of www and then the title of
function, service, application, system or publication as if it were a
sub-domain, shall be considered and approved if appropriate.
