The \s-1BIND\s+1 consists +of a server (or ``daemon'') called \fInamed\fP and a \fIresolver\fP library. +A name server is a network service that enables clients to name resources or +objects and share this information with other objects in the network. This +in effect is a distributed data base system for objects in a computer +network. The \s-1BIND\s+1 server runs in the background, servicing queries +on a well known network port. The standard port for UDP and TCP is specified +in \fI/etc/services\fP. The \fIresolver\fP is a set of routines residing +in a system library that provides the interface that programs can use to +access the domain name services. +.pp +BIND is fully integrated into BSD (4.3 and later releases) +network programs for use in storing and retrieving host names and address. +The system administrator can configure the system to use BIND as a +replacement to the older host table lookup of information in the network +hosts file \fI/etc/hosts\fP. The default configuration for BSD uses +BIND. |
