DNS Server
Required by the cloud to operate properly.
This can be provided by the customer or as
part of the cloud and tied into the customer
DNS system. In either case, the customer’s
DNS system must be modified to point to
the cloud DNS server or host the cloud’s
address spaces and name spaces. The
suggested implementation is for the cloud
to host the DNS server with a cloud
domain under the customer's domain. The
customer’s domain then points to the
cloud-based DNS server running on the IS.
