af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Although the "official" beginning of the Domain Name
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User System occurred in 1984 with the publication of RFC 920, the
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User core of the new system was described in 1983 in RFCs 882 and
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User 883. From 1984 to 1987, the ARPAnet (the precursor to today's
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Internet) became a testbed of experimentation for developing the
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User new naming/addressing scheme in a rapidly expanding,
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User operational network environment. New RFCs were written and
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User published in 1987 that modified the original documents to
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User incorporate improvements based on the working model. RFC 1034,
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User "Domain Names-Concepts and Facilities", and RFC 1035, "Domain
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Names-Implementation and Specification" were published and
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User became the standards upon which all <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> implementations are
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User The first working domain name server, called "Jeeves", was
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User written in 1983-84 by Paul Mockapetris for operation on DEC
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User machines located at the University of Southern California's
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Sciences Institute (USC-ISI) and SRI International's Network
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Center (SRI-NIC). A <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> server for
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Unix machines, the Berkeley Internet
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Name Domain (<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>) package, was
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User written soon after by a group of
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley

af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> through
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User 4.8.3 were maintained by the Computer
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Systems Research Group (CSRG) at UC Berkeley. Douglas Terry, Mark
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Painter, David Riggle and Songnian Zhou made up the initial <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User project team. After that, additional work on the software package
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User was done by Ralph Campbell. Kevin Dunlap, a Digital Equipment
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User employee on loan to the CSRG, worked on <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> for 2 years, from 1985
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User to 1987. Many other people also contributed to <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> development
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User during that time: Doug Kingston, Craig Partridge, Smoot
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Carl-Mitchell,
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Mike Muuss, Jim Bloom and Mike Schwartz. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> maintenance was subsequently
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User handled by Mike Karels and �ivind Kure.
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions 4.9 and 4.9.1 were
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User released by Digital Equipment
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Corporation (now Compaq Computer Corporation). Paul Vixie, then
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User a DEC employee, became <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>'s
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User primary caretaker. He was assisted
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User by Phil Almquist, Robert Elz, Alan Barrett, Paul Albitz, Bryan
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Beecher, Andrew
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Partan, Andy Cherenson, Tom Limoncelli, Berthold Paffrath, Fuat

af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Wolfhugel, and others.
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User In 1994, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> version 4.9.2 was sponsored by
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Vixie Enterprises. Paul
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Vixie became <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>'s principal
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions from 4.9.3 onward
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User have been developed and maintained
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User by the Internet Systems Consortium and its predecessor,
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User the Internet Software Consortium, with support being provided
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User by ISC's sponsors.
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Paul Vixie released the first production-ready version of
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> version 8 in May 1997.
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User BIND version 9 was released in September 2000 and is a
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User BIND architecture.
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User BIND versions 4 and 8 are officially deprecated.
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User No additional development is done
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User on BIND version 4 or BIND version 8.
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> development work is made
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User possible today by the sponsorship
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User of several corporations, and by the tireless work efforts of
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User numerous individuals.
