Dear All ,
I am not able to make out what actually " NNN " is ??
Is NNN and DNN are the same thing ? Domino Domain
i understand is the group of server which share the same
domino directory … but what is DNN or NNN is ??
I was going throguh mail routing concept and found 2 situation
1 ) recipeint mail file stored on server in diffenrt NNN or DNN with in local domino domain ( what is this local domino domain ) ??
2 ) Mail file on server in external domino domain …
Please explain me all these small but confusing defination
by some example would be great help …
Thanks

From the Admin help file, Network Configuration/Lotus Domino and networks/NRPC communication:
Notes named networks
Consider Notes named networks in your planning. A Notes named network (NNN) is a group of servers that can connect to each other directly through a common LAN protocol and network pathway – for example, servers running on TCP/IP in one location. Servers on the same NNN route mail to each another automatically, whereas you need a Connection document to route mail between servers on different NNNs.
When you set up Server documents, be sure to assign each server to the correct NNN. Lotus Domino expects a continuous connection between servers that are in the same NNN, and serious delays in routing can occur if a server must dial up a remote LAN because the remote server is inadvertently placed within the NNN. Also bear in mind that the Notes Network field for each port can contain only one NNN name, and no two NNN names can be the same.
NNNs affect Notes users when they use the Open Database dialog box. When a user selects Other to display a list of servers, the servers displayed are those on the NNN of the user’s home server for the port on which the Notes workstation communicates with the home server. Also, when users click on a database link or document link, if a server in their home server’s NNN has a replica of that database, they can connect to the replica.
Note If a server is assigned to two NNNs in the same protocol, as in the case where the server has two Notes network ports for TCP/IP, a Notes workstation or Domino server connecting to that server uses the NNN for the port listed first in the Server document.
You should also read the chapters under Directory Services/The Domino Directory:
Typically, a Domino Directory is associated with a Domino domain. When you set up the first server in a Domino domain, Domino automatically creates the Domino Directory database and gives it the file name NAMES.NSF. When you add a new server to the domain, Domino automatically creates a replica of the Domino Directory on the new server.

“NNN” is the Notes Named Network. “DNN” is the Domino Named Network. Both describe the same thing (much like Name and Address Book (NAB) is the same thing as the Domino Directory (DD)). From Admin Help:

Also bear in mind that the Notes Network field for each port can contain only one NNN name, and no two NNN names can be the same.
If you have a mail file in a different NNN, then you need a Connection Document in order for mail to route properly. You can use the same Connection Document to make sure that replication occurs, too.

HTH.
