2616.0. "How large networks without DNS?" by STKHLM::BERGGREN (Nils Berggren EIS/Project dpmt, Sweden DTN 876-8287) Tue Mar 24 1992 02:04

    
    Hi,
    
    (I guess that this question has been answered somewhere but I didn't 
    find it...)
    
    A customer is asking for DECmcc (for VMS) and wonders how large
    network he can manage without having DNS (given DECmcc v1.2).
    Are there any general rules?
    
    
       thanks,
          Nils

2616.1	Need DECdns for information sharing	TOOK::MINTZ	Erik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033	`Tue Mar 24 1992 11:17`	5
	Essentially, you need to start using DECdns as soon as you need two DECmcc stations to manage the network. DECdns provides for sharing of configuration information between the two.
2616.2	DNA limit	RACER::dave	Ahh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.	`Tue Mar 24 1992 18:26`	5
	Also: DNA (Phase 5) on VMS will limit you at about 80 nodes. That is using the local DNS cache with a "Preload" feature for "Small" nets.

	Dave- I presume you are talking about the DECnet/OSI local namespace? That limitation would be independent of the DECmcc local namespace. -- Erik
