Short description: Domain reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
mcast.net is a second level domain reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and maintained by Verisign used to bind DNS records unique to multicast addressing.[1] The domain and its subdomains are not associated with any web site.
