Description:
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) implements an Internet
name server for the UNIX operating system. BIND consists of a
server (or ``daemon'') and a resolver 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. 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 /etc/hosts. The
default configuration for BSD uses BIND.

by Paul Vixie included in 8.1.1 distribution.
New features in BIND 8 include:
-> DNS Dynamic Updates (RFC 2136)
-> DNS Change Notification (RFC 1996)
-> Completely new configuration syntax
-> Flexible, categorized logging system
-> IP-address-based access control for queries, zone transfers, and
updates that may be specified on a zone-by-zone basis
-> More efficient zone transfers
-> Improved performance for servers with thousands of zones
-> The server no longer forks for outbound zone transfers
-> Many bug fixes
