Hebrew DNS
Hi all, Not exactly on-topic, but I thought I'd ask here anyway, because I don't know a better group of technically-informed Israelis. A client of ours would like to take advantage of ISOC's offering of Hebrew domain names, but my DNS isn't set up to handle UTF-8, and it's not worth the effort to make it so for one client. Can anyone here manage DNS for a Hebrew domain, and want to make a couple of shekels doing so?

Can anyone here manage DNS for a Hebrew domain, and want to make a couple of shekels doing so? What do you mean set up to handle UTF-8 ? IDNs are very regular domains, with a minor change - the zone name contains a double dash, which was previously illegal. You define it as any other domain your your DNS SW. Just type the Hebrew domain name in Firefox, it will be converted to xn--something [*] - that's what you put in your zone definition, and you're done...

Re: Hebrew DNS
Please note that ISOC does not provide Hebrew domains domains just yet (in the scheme of HebrewString.co.il and HebrewString.net.il), and there is no known plans to allow it anytime soon. Some TLDs do allow registration of IDN domains, including dot com TLDs, but for most IDN TLDs the domain won't appear in Hebrew in the browser location bar due to limited or no support for detecting spoofed addresses. On the other hand, a local registerar named Domain The Net provide Hebrew domain including Hebrew TLD. I won't recommend using these domain, as they are not registered at IANA and will be accessible only on some local ISPs and only on some configurations.

My client wrote to me that The Internet Society (ISOC) began the process of pre-registering domain names in Hebrew. English domain names under the extensions .co.il and .org.il can register their URLs in Hebrew now as well. My client has .co.il and .org.il domains.
