BIND - Berkeley Internet Name Domain Server is a distributed name server.
It implements the Internet Domain Name Server discribed in RFC 882 and
others for the DARPA Internet.

It is the replacement for /etc/hosts on 4.3BSD and allows you to distribute
the management of your name space. In 4.3bsd gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr()library calls use the name server.

You can get a copy of BIND from the 4.3bsd tape or can be ftp'ed
from the anonymous account on ucbarpa.Berkeley.edu.

BIND is very portable to any system which has TCP/IP.
It is also included in Sun's 3.2 Unix.
