Way off topic.  Search around for a website for configuring your DNS,
there's plenty that have this information.  e.g. Look through the help
files on a domain name registrar's site.

Do a whois on several famous sites, and you'll see what's normal.  Go
through a domain name registrar's site, and see what they ask you for.
Search for "whois RFC" and see what you get.

In general, it's name, postal address, e-mail, phone number.

Be aware that just because you can quickly change IPs, it could take
hours, days, weeks, for other people to see your changes.  DNS data gets
cached.

I don't know what TinyDNS is.  Does it have documentation, a website,
its own mailing list, etc?
