cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Although the "official" beginning of the Domain Name
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User System occurred in 1984 with the publication of RFC 920, the
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User core of the new system was described in 1983 in RFCs 882 and
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User 883. From 1984 to 1987, the ARPAnet (the precursor to today's
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Internet) became a testbed of experimentation for developing the
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User new naming/addressing scheme in a rapidly expanding,
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User operational network environment. New RFCs were written and
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User published in 1987 that modified the original documents to
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User incorporate improvements based on the working model. RFC 1034,
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User "Domain Names-Concepts and Facilities", and RFC 1035, "Domain
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Names-Implementation and Specification" were published and
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User became the standards upon which all <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> implementations are
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User The first working domain name server, called "Jeeves", was
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User written in 1983-84 by Paul Mockapetris for operation on DEC
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User machines located at the University of Southern California's
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Sciences Institute (USC-ISI) and SRI International's Network
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Center (SRI-NIC). A <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> server for
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Unix machines, the Berkeley Internet
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Name Domain (<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>) package, was
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User written soon after by a group of
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley

cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> through
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User 4.8.3 were maintained by the Computer
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Systems Research Group (CSRG) at UC Berkeley. Douglas Terry, Mark
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Painter, David Riggle and Songnian Zhou made up the initial <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User project team. After that, additional work on the software package
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User was done by Ralph Campbell. Kevin Dunlap, a Digital Equipment
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User employee on loan to the CSRG, worked on <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> for 2 years, from 1985
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User to 1987. Many other people also contributed to <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> development
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User during that time: Doug Kingston, Craig Partridge, Smoot
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Carl-Mitchell,
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Mike Muuss, Jim Bloom and Mike Schwartz. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> maintenance was subsequently
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User handled by Mike Karels and �ivind Kure.
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions 4.9 and 4.9.1 were
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User released by Digital Equipment
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Corporation (now Compaq Computer Corporation). Paul Vixie, then
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User a DEC employee, became <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>'s
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User primary caretaker. He was assisted
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User by Phil Almquist, Robert Elz, Alan Barrett, Paul Albitz, Bryan
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Beecher, Andrew

cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User In 1994, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> version 4.9.2 was sponsored by
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Vixie Enterprises. Paul
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Vixie became <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>'s principal
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions from 4.9.3 onward
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User have been developed and maintained
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User by the Internet Systems Consortium and its predecessor,
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User the Internet Software Consortium, with support being provided
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User by ISC's sponsors.
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User Paul Vixie released the first production-ready version of
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> version 8 in May 1997.
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User BIND version 9 was released in September 2000 and is a
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User BIND architecture.
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User BIND versions 4 and 8 are officially deprecated.
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User No additional development is done
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User on BIND version 4 or BIND version 8.
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> development work is made
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User possible today by the sponsorship
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User of several corporations, and by the tireless work efforts of
cd32f419a8a5432fbb139f56ee73cbf68b9350ccTinderbox User numerous individuals.
