TNS is the local authority for the Penn State Domain Name System (DNS). DNS is a client/server mechanism by which machine names get "mapped" to IP addressee. In order to facilitate the process of Integrated Backbone service requests, it is TNS's policy that all such requests be submitted by an authorized Administrative, Technical, or Security Contact specified on the Penn State Integrated Backbone Contact List (authentication required) via the applicable Integrated Backbone Service Request Forms below. These forms reside on a secured server and can only be accessed by an authorized Administrative, Technical, or Security Backbone contact.
