The HINFO Record

• The HINFO Record is commonly misused.

• It should have EXACTLY two data fields

  • First field specifies hardware platform
  • Second field specifies software (OS) version
  • It’s best to put each field in its own pair of double quotes.

• No Other Information Should be Put In An HINFO Record!!!

• Other, miscellaneous information, should be put into a TXT record.
