DNS BIND, which stands for Berkeley Internet Name Domain,
is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) and is the
most common use of the Domain Name System (DNS). Now, the complete
implementation of DNS BIND/iX runs on an MPE/iX shell operation
system on MPE/iX release 6.0. Initially, DNS BIND/iX was written
for UNIX; however, the latest version of DNS BIND/iX 8.1.1 runs
on MPE/iX systems.
Overview of DNS BIND/iX |
 |
BIND DNS/iX is a domain name system which consists of a client-server
mechanism. The name servers comprise the server half of the DNS's
client-server mechanism. The name server is the NM program NAMED
which maintains information about some part of the DNS called a
zone and has capabilities to retrieve information regarding other
zones. The clients are resolver routines provided as NMRL libraries.
The resolvers are clients that query the name servers, interpret
the responses and send the answers to the requester.
BIND DNS/iX makes your domain names visible to the internet
as well as handling client requests to resolve domain names within
your domain and external domains. Prior to DNS BIND/iX, the HP3000
users had to rely on other machines or other operating system to
host their organization DNS information. Now, you can host it on
HP3000 systems.
Overview of Syslog/iX |
|
Syslog is the standard event logging system for Syslog/iX
UNIX, now the Syslog/iX can run on the MPE/iX shell operating system
on MPE/iX release 6.0. With the features of Syslog/iX available
on MPE/iX systems, the event messages can be logged to files, terminal
devices, or even forward to other syslog systems. Syslog/iX can
accept data from the local system via an AF_UNIX socket or from
any system on the network via an AF_INET UDP socket on port 514.
DNS BIND/iX uses Syslog/iX as the event logging subsystem.
