BIND

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is the most commonly used DNS server on the Internet, especially on Unix-like systems, where it is a de facto standard. The resolver library included in the BIND distribution provides translations between domain names (used by humans) and Internet addresses (used by machines). This process is called DNS resolution and is linked with applications requiring name service.
