0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Although the "official" beginning of the Domain Name
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen System occurred in 1984 with the publication of RFC 920, the
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen core of the new system was described in 1983 in RFCs 882 and
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen 883. From 1984 to 1987, the ARPAnet (the precursor to today's
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Internet) became a testbed of experimentation for developing the
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen new naming/addressing scheme in a rapidly expanding,
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen operational network environment. New RFCs were written and
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen published in 1987 that modified the original documents to
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen incorporate improvements based on the working model. RFC 1034,
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen "Domain Names-Concepts and Facilities", and RFC 1035, "Domain
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen Names-Implementation and Specification" were published and
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen became the standards upon which all <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> implementations are
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen The first working domain name server, called "Jeeves", was
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen written in 1983-84 by Paul Mockapetris for operation on DEC
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen machines located at the University of Southern California's
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Sciences Institute (USC-ISI) and SRI International's Network
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Center (SRI-NIC). A <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> server for

0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Name Domain (<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>) package, was
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen written soon after by a group of
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley

0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> through
a5335779cad1ee1e2a5c38b181eb66eb8ecb809eTimo Sirainen 4.8.3 were maintained by the Computer
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen Systems Research Group (CSRG) at UC Berkeley. Douglas Terry, Mark
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen Painter, David Riggle and Songnian Zhou made up the initial <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen project team. After that, additional work on the software package
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen was done by Ralph Campbell. Kevin Dunlap, a Digital Equipment
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen employee on loan to the CSRG, worked on <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> for 2 years, from 1985
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen to 1987. Many other people also contributed to <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> development
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen during that time: Doug Kingston, Craig Partridge, Smoot
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Carl-Mitchell,
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Mike Muuss, Jim Bloom and Mike Schwartz. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> maintenance was subsequently
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen handled by Mike Karels and �ivind Kure.
4429afe7d32bd883a23c10b9e2196dd72a63fe02Timo Sirainen <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions 4.9 and 4.9.1 were
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen released by Digital Equipment
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Corporation (now Compaq Computer Corporation). Paul Vixie, then
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen a DEC employee, became <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>'s
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen primary caretaker. He was assisted
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen by Phil Almquist, Robert Elz, Alan Barrett, Paul Albitz, Bryan

0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen In 1994, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> version 4.9.2 was sponsored by
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Vixie Enterprises. Paul
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Vixie became <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>'s principal
eddd9bf1a1369aea4a2715f6be1137da6d17d293Timo Sirainen <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions from 4.9.3 onward
eddd9bf1a1369aea4a2715f6be1137da6d17d293Timo Sirainen have been developed and maintained
eddd9bf1a1369aea4a2715f6be1137da6d17d293Timo Sirainen by the Internet Systems Consortium and its predecessor,
eddd9bf1a1369aea4a2715f6be1137da6d17d293Timo Sirainen the Internet Software Consortium, with support being provided
eddd9bf1a1369aea4a2715f6be1137da6d17d293Timo Sirainen by ISC's sponsors.
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen Paul Vixie released the first production-ready version of
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> version 8 in May 1997.
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen BIND version 9 was released in September 2000 and is a
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen BIND architecture.
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen BIND versions 4 and 8 are officially deprecated.
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen No additional development is done
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen on BIND version 4 or BIND version 8.
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> development work is made
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen possible today by the sponsorship
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen of several corporations, and by the tireless work efforts of
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen numerous individuals.

a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen IPv6 addresses are 128-bit identifiers for interfaces and
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen sets of interfaces which were introduced in the <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> to facilitate
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen scalable Internet routing. There are three types of addresses: <span class="emphasis"><em>Unicast</em></span>,
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen an identifier for a single interface;
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen <span class="emphasis"><em>Anycast</em></span>,
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen an identifier for a set of interfaces; and <span class="emphasis"><em>Multicast</em></span>,
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen an identifier for a set of interfaces. Here we describe the global
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen Unicast address scheme. For more information, see RFC 3587,
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen "Global Unicast Address Format."
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen IPv6 unicast addresses consist of a
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen <span class="emphasis"><em>global routing prefix</em></span>, a
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen <span class="emphasis"><em>subnet identifier</em></span>, and an
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen <span class="emphasis"><em>interface identifier</em></span>.
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen The global routing prefix is provided by the
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen upstream provider or ISP, and (roughly) corresponds to the
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen IPv4 <span class="emphasis"><em>network</em></span> section
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen of the address range.
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen The subnet identifier is for local subnetting, much the
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen same as subnetting an
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen IPv4 /16 network into /24 subnets.
d92f33f13830ba23d814342bf3ea8db721a15bb1Timo Sirainen The interface identifier is the address of an individual
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen interface on a given network; in IPv6, addresses belong to
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen interfaces rather than to machines.
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen The subnetting capability of IPv6 is much more flexible than
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen that of IPv4: subnetting can be carried out on bit boundaries,
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen in much the same way as Classless InterDomain Routing
a5335779cad1ee1e2a5c38b181eb66eb8ecb809eTimo Sirainen (CIDR), and the DNS PTR representation ("nibble" format)
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen makes setting up reverse zones easier.
18ffea71d9beeec3cc1d400f751926ee72807f62Timo Sirainen The Interface Identifier must be unique on the local link,
18ffea71d9beeec3cc1d400f751926ee72807f62Timo Sirainen and is usually generated automatically by the IPv6
18ffea71d9beeec3cc1d400f751926ee72807f62Timo Sirainen implementation, although it is usually possible to
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen override the default setting if necessary. A typical IPv6
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen address might look like:
18ffea71d9beeec3cc1d400f751926ee72807f62Timo Sirainen <span><strong class="command">2001:db8:201:9:a00:20ff:fe81:2b32</strong></span>
a27e065f1a1f91c7fbdf7c2ea1c387441af0cbb3Timo Sirainen IPv6 address specifications often contain long strings
18ffea71d9beeec3cc1d400f751926ee72807f62Timo Sirainen of zeros, so the architects have included a shorthand for
18ffea71d9beeec3cc1d400f751926ee72807f62Timo Sirainen them. The double colon (`::') indicates the longest possible
18ffea71d9beeec3cc1d400f751926ee72807f62Timo Sirainen of zeros that can fit, and can be used only once in an address.

0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen<p>This version of BIND 9 "exports" its internal libraries so
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen that they can be used by third-party applications more easily (we
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen call them "export" libraries in this document). In addition to
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen all major DNS-related APIs BIND 9 is currently using, the export
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen libraries provide the following features:</p>
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen<li><p>The newly created "DNS client" module. This is a higher
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen level API that provides an interface to name resolution,
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen single DNS transaction with a particular server, and dynamic
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen update. Regarding name resolution, it supports advanced
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen features such as DNSSEC validation and caching. This module
ef50336eefcb9ba99f73c6af37420eaf8857a39bTimo Sirainen supports both synchronous and asynchronous mode.</p></li>
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen<li><p>The new "IRS" (Information Retrieval System) library.
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen It provides an interface to parse the traditional resolv.conf
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen file and more advanced, DNS-specific configuration file for
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen the rest of this package (see the description for the
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen<li><p>As part of the IRS library, newly implemented standard
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen address-name mapping functions, getaddrinfo() and
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen getnameinfo(), are provided. They use the DNSSEC-aware
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen validating resolver backend, and could use other advanced
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen features of the BIND 9 libraries such as caching. The
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen getaddrinfo() function resolves both A and AAAA RRs
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen concurrently (when the address family is unspecified).</p></li>

f1c46014be33c6e68a676c33f1dd03b1f6d7fd81Timo Sirainen<p>GNU make is required to build the export libraries (other
f1c46014be33c6e68a676c33f1dd03b1f6d7fd81Timo Sirainen part of BIND 9 can still be built with other types of make). In
f1c46014be33c6e68a676c33f1dd03b1f6d7fd81Timo Sirainen the reminder of this document, "make" means GNU make. Note that
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen in some platforms you may need to invoke a different command name
0d063ba32aab9637dba6c6e5ae617ec1f69946f0Timo Sirainen than "make" (e.g. "gmake") to indicate it's GNU make.</p>
