BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation
of the Domain Name System (DNS). It consists of a network of servers
which provide a distributed database, including names and addresses
of host machines. This information is accessible to client hosts
which are running resolver software. This enables them to send queries
to and receive replies from the servers.
The resolver software runs on MPE/iX versions preceding 6.0
so that the MPE/iX client hosts can query DNS servers running on
other platforms. On MPE/iX 6.0 there is a full implementation of
BIND which means that your MPE/iX host can now act as a DNS server
on your network.
