The LOC record is used for information about geographical location of the domain. The records consists of Latitude Longitude in degrees (d1) [0..90], (d2) [0..180], minutes (m1, m2) [0..59] and seconds (s1,s2) [0..59.999] and Altitude information (alt) [-100000,00..42849672,95] as well as host/subnet physical size and location accuracy in meters (siz, hp, vp) [0..90000000,00]
Record structure
LOC record is written in this formate –
<owner> <TTL> <class> LOC ( d1 [m1 [s1]] {„N“|“S“} d2 [m2 [s2]]
{„E“|“W“} alt[„m“] [siz[„m“] [hp[„m“]
[vp[„m“]]]] )
The following rules apply:
d1: [0 .. 90] (latitude in degrees)
d2: [0 .. 180] (longitude in degrees)
m1, m2: [0 .. 59] (minutes of latitude/longitude)
s1, s2: [0 .. 59.999] (seconds of latitude/longitude)
alt: [-100000.00 .. 42849672.95] BY .01 (altitude in meters)
siz, hp, vp: [0 .. 90000000.00] (size and accuracy in meters)
Record example:
LOC record statdns.net. IN LOC 52 22 23.000 N 4 53 32.000 E -2.00m 0.00m 10000m 10m
