1 BIND is open source software that enables you to publish your Domain Name
2 System (DNS) information on the Internet, and to resolve DNS queries for your
3 users. The name BIND stands for “Berkeley Internet Name Domain”, because the
4 software originated in the early 1980s at the University of California at
5 Berkeley.
7 BIND is by far the most widely used DNS software on the Internet, providing a
8 robust and stable platform on top of which organizations can build
9 distributed computing systems with the knowledge that those systems are fully
10 compliant with published DNS standards.
