The Domain Manager app can register new domains and create new services within it. We have an early prototype for a browser-based sig0namectl Domain manager application. The current version can register new domains as well as create new web services within any of your domains. Under advanced options it also allows the backup and import of domain keys into the browser environment. Even though it’s under heavy development, take a sneak peak at a recent snapshot of the domain_manager app.

DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD) is a DNS standard that allows sets of services and resources to be easily published, browsed and accessed over a network. It is a standard most commonly used in local networks to discover nearby printers, scanners and other resources over multicast DNS (which Apple refers to as Bonjour or Rendezvous). However, the standard also specifies how Service Discovery is defined for use in the Global DNS infrastructure.

Just as DNS resource records of type ‘A’ map domain names to IP addresses, DNS resource records of type ‘LOC’ map domain names to GPS coordinates. We have an early prototype for a browser-based sig0namectl resource location application. The current version renders GPS coordinates of each resource entered within a browsing domain. Each sig0 key can create a list of known resources and add DNS LOC records to record their current location.
