5 BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of
6 the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols and provides an openly
7 redistributable reference implementation of the major
8 components of the Domain Name System, including:
10 * a Domain Name System server (named)
11 * a Domain Name System resolver library
12 * tools for verifying the proper operation of the DNS server
14 The BIND DNS Server is used on the vast majority of name
15 serving machines on the Internet, providing a robust and
16 stable architecture on top of which an organization's naming
17 architecture can be built. The resolver library included in
18 the BIND distribution provides the standard APIs for
19 translation between domain names and Internet addresses and is
20 intended to be linked with applications requiring name service.
