Domain Name Service Request: CareGroup and HANDS-affiliated Institutions

The CareGroup Network Architecture and Support group maintains the domain name registry for all computing equipment located on the corporate network. Please use the following form to request that your host be added or modified to the DNS for the main CareGroup domain (caregroup.org), the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center domain (bidmc.harvard.edu), or one of the other domains sponsored by various departments or projects.

If you are requesting a change in a DNS registration due to a move, please explain in the text field provided below.

Fields with * asterisk are required.


Your name: *
Your email address: *
Enter the IP number presently assigned to you for this host:       No IP num? *
What hardware is this?
What model of the above hardware is this?
What operating system is running on this host?
What hostname do you want registered for this machine? *

Please note that all names must be unique within your domain. If your hostname already exists, you will be asked to suggest an alternative.

We are able to link several host domain names to the same IP number, but can link the reverse ARPA entry of the IP number to only one host domain name. If you are requesting multiple names to resolve to the same IP number, please indicate which name should be used for the reverse IP number resolution.

Please choose the appropriate subdomain for your registration below (all registrations will default to bidmc.harvard.edu). If this is a change in an already existing registration, please choose that option from list bottom:
