• All hosts on Biola networks are policy enforced to use Biola’s DNS systems.
• All hosts connected to Biola networks receive a dynamic biola.edu DNS name.
• No host connected to Biola networks shall be addressable by any DNS name other than that provided by Biola.
• No hosts host operating on Biola’s network shall use an upstream DNS server other than that automatically assigned by Biola’s DNS/DHCP services or by the campus firewall.
• All hosts on Biola networks shall either obtain and use a static IP address or use the Biola DHCP service to obtain an assigned IP address. Users shall not use a self-assigned IP address, or operate a DHCP server.
