... This RFC proposes two extensions to the Domain Name System: ...
... network names. Although it would be possible to provide a flat space
or a name space in which, for example, the last label of a domain
name captured the old-style network name, any such approach would add
complexity to the method ...

The network name syntax discussed above can provide domain names
which will contain mappings from network names to various quantities,

In general, this information will be inserted in the master
file for the domain name of the organization; this is a
different file from that which holds the information below
IN-ADDR.ARPA ...

This ordering reflects the natural scoping of control, and hence the
order of the components in a domain name. Thus domain names would be
of the form:
