Can a host outside of Cornell have a cornell.edu name?
Yes. With permission from the vendor or ISP, we can either point a host name (example: www.cuhost.cornell.edu) at an address in the vendor’s IP space or create a CNAME (example: www.cuhost.cornell.edu) that points at the vendor’s host name (example: webhost.something.com). Getting permission to point into someone else’s IP space is a best practice rather than a policy. The network administrator can send, or have the vendor send, written permission via e-mail to hostmaster@cornell.edu.
