Rollout Strategy

Phased deployment from intranet to extranet to internet, analogous to how internetworking itself evolved.

The Internetworking Analogy

Just as networking evolved from local networks → peering/interconnect → global internet, AgenticDNS follows a similar path:

1

Local Networks (Intranet)

Single-organization deployment with tight governance. Fastest adoption, highest control, immediate value.

2

Peering/Interconnect (Extranet)

Multi-organization federation with negotiated trust. Enables secure collaboration across partner boundaries.

3

Global Internet

Public discovery and trust bootstrapping. Open agent ecosystems with verifiable identity and capability assertions.

Phased Deployment

Phase 1

Intranet

Single-organization deployment with tight governance and highest control. Enables internal agent discovery and capability negotiation.

Characteristics

  • • Internal trust domains
  • • Enterprise-controlled registries
  • • PrimaryFactsURL hosting
  • • Strict policy enforcement
  • • Audit logging

Examples

  • • AI4I and AI4DP trust domains
  • • Internal MCP and A2A registry consolidation
  • • Fine-grained trust signals (governance approval, security posture)
Phase 2

Extranet

Multi-organization federation with negotiated trust exchange. Enables secure agent collaboration across partner boundaries.

Characteristics

  • • Federated industry registries
  • • Cross-signing between trust zones
  • • Negotiated governance rules
  • • Third-party credential validation
  • • Split-horizon resolution

Examples

  • • Recruit agents accessing Indeed services
  • • Partner trust exchange
  • • Controlled capability exposure
Phase 3

Internet

Global public discovery and trust bootstrapping. Enables open agent ecosystems with verifiable identity and capability assertions.

Characteristics

  • • Public registries
  • • CRDT-based distributed storage
  • • Smart contract governance
  • • Open credential validation
  • • Privacy-preserving discovery

Examples

  • • Global agent marketplace
  • • Public capability discovery
  • • Cross-platform interoperability

How Index/Metadata/Resolver Responsibilities Shift

Intranet Phase

Index: Enterprise-controlled. Metadata: Internal hosting. Resolver: Strict internal policy.

Extranet Phase

Index: Federated registries. Metadata: Cross-signing between trust zones. Resolver: Federation policy with audit.

Internet Phase

Index: Public registries. Metadata: CRDT-based distributed storage. Resolver: Open discovery with privacy-preserving paths.
