InetEndpointType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION

    DESCRIPTION
          "A value that represents a type of Internet endpoint.

           Note that it is possible to sub-type objects defined with
           this syntax by removing one or more enumerated values.
           The DESCRIPTION clause of such objects (or their corresponding
           InetEndpoint object) must document specific usage."

InetEndpoint ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS       current
    DESCRIPTION
          "Denotes an generic Internet endpoint.

          A InetEndpoint value is always interpreted within the context of a
          InetEndpointType value.  Thus, each definition of a InetEndpointType 
	  value must be accompanied by a definition of a textual convention 
	  for use with that InetEndpointType.

          When this Textual Convention is used as the syntax of an index object,
          there may be issues with the limit of 128 sub-identifiers specified
          in [SMIv2].  In this case, it is recommended that the OBJECT-TYPE 
          declaration include a "SIZE" clause to limit the number of potential 
          instance sub-identifiers.

                1-4     IP address      network-byte order

    DESCRIPTION
            "Represents a fully qualified DNS host name.
	     The corresponding InetEndpointType is dns(3).

             The DESCRIPTION clause of InetEndpoint objects that
             may have InetEndpointDNS values must fully describe
             how (and when) such names are to be resolved to IP
             addresses."
