The BIND DNS Server is used on the vast majority of name
|
|
|
|
|
serving machines on the Internet, providing a robust and
|
|
|
|
|
stable architecture on top of which an organization's naming
|
|
|
|
|
architecture can be built. The resolver library included in
|
|
|
|
|
the BIND distribution provides the standard APIs for
|
|
|
|
|
translation between domain names and Internet addresses and is

|
|
|
intended to be linked with applications requiring name service.
