| Summary : A DNS (Domain Name System) server.
|
Description :
Bind includes the named name server, which resolves host names to IP
addresses (and vice versa), and a resolver library (a set of routines
in a system library that provide the interface for programs to use when
accessing domain name services). A name server is a network service which
enables clients to name resources or objects and share this information
with other network machines. The named name server can be used on
workstations as a caching name server, but is generally only needed on
one machine for an entire network. Note that the configuration files for
making bind act as a simple caching nameserver are included in the
caching-nameserver package.
Install the bind package if you need a name server for your network. If
you want bind to act a caching name server, you will also need to install
the caching-nameserver package.
This package also includes the latest (post edition 3 of DNS & BIND)
edition of h2n, an essential tool for any BIND admin.
