CAP.GOV DOMAIN
ADMINISTRATION
The CAP.GOV
domain has been delegated to the Civil Air Patrol and is a
valuable asset in CAP communications. The domain
is administered through a network of domain name servers
situated in locations around the world.
Frequently asked questions:
How does a CAP unit obtain a
CAP.GOV domain name?
Over 90% of
the requests for a CAP.GOV domain name assignment are handled
within 1-business day of receiving the required information.
Here is a recommended procedure on how to proceed:
1. Review the
2-page regulation applicable to CAP Internet operations,
CAPR-110-1 (Note: this link will open a new browser window and
leave this site.) All CAP.GOV web sites must also
conform to applicable Federal Guidelines.
2. Contact
your wing headquarters webmaster or Information Technology
officer as that person can advise if the wing can arrange for
Internet server services to host a CAP.GOV domain for your
unit. That person should also be able to assist you in
obtaining the required approval from the wing or higher
commander or designee to utilize a CAP.GOV domain.
A “naming convention” is
used for assignment of CAP.GOV domains as follows: wings
and regions are assigned 3rd-level names such as
NEWG.CAP.GOV, groups and squadrons can be assigned
4th-level domains such as GROUP2.NEWG.CAP.GOV. or, in
certain instances, your wing or region headquarters may be
able to set a “directory” for you under their existing domain,
i.e. newg.cap.gov/group2. If a wing sets a “directory”
for you under their existing domain, you do not need to
complete step “3” below.
3. You then submit your
request for a CAP.GOV domain. If your web-browser
supports
using online forms, you
can submit your request online here. Or, you can printout the online form and send
it by facsimile to: CAP.GOV Administrator 866.302.4197 or, you
can print and mail the online form to: CIVIL AIR PATROL,
Attn CAP.GOV Administrator, 25701 South Street Bldg 1506
Selfridge ANGB MI 48034.
You should notify the
organization that has agreed to provide server services to
host the proposed CAP.GOV domain that a port scan will be
immediately conducted on the applicable IP address in an
effort to identify potential security vulnerabilities of the
server. If potential security vulnerabilities are discovered,
you will be asked to address those issues before the domain is
configured. Once a domain is configured, one or two scans per
year may be conducted thereafter, which typically
are conducted on the 1st, 10th or 20th of month.
What alternatives are available for a server to
host a CAP.GOV domain?
There are numerous
options. For example, some wings and regions operate
their own Internet servers and they can assist you. There are
also CAP units that will assist units outside of their wings
or regions. If you need assistance, contact your wing
webmaster, IT Department or the CAP.GOV Administrator.
If you are having
problems or have questions regarding the CAP.GOV domain name
server system, please contact the CAP.GOV Administrator. Notice of any CAP.GOV DNS
problems should also be sent by facsimile to CAP.GOV
Administrator at: 402-309-7665 ext 7010.
If you are having
problems or have questions regarding the CAPNHQ.GOV
system, you should contact the CAPNHQ.GOV Administrator
