Technical Test Approaches• NS-records - permit the insertion an
internationalized label (in punycode) in the root zone:<domain>.<tld> does not necessarily resolve to the same Internet address as <domain>.<idn-tld>
• DNAMES – as defined in RFC 2672 DNAMES is the equivalent mapping of one domain into another:
<domain>.<tld> resolves to the same Internet address as <domain>.<idn-tld>
