a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync Although the "official" beginning of the Domain Name
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync System occurred in 1984 with the publication of RFC 920, the
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync core of the new system was described in 1983 in RFCs 882 and
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync 883. From 1984 to 1987, the ARPAnet (the precursor to today's
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync Internet) became a testbed of experimentation for developing the
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync new naming/addressing scheme in a rapidly expanding,
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync operational network environment. New RFCs were written and
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync published in 1987 that modified the original documents to
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync incorporate improvements based on the working model. RFC 1034,
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync "Domain Names-Concepts and Facilities", and RFC 1035, "Domain
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync Names-Implementation and Specification" were published and
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync became the standards upon which all <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> implementations are
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync The first working domain name server, called "Jeeves", was
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync written in 1983-84 by Paul Mockapetris for operation on DEC

a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync 4.8.3 were maintained by the Computer
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync Systems Research Group (CSRG) at UC Berkeley. Douglas Terry, Mark
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync Painter, David Riggle and Songnian Zhou made up the initial <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync project team. After that, additional work on the software package
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync was done by Ralph Campbell. Kevin Dunlap, a Digital Equipment

a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync employee on loan to the CSRG, worked on <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> for 2 years, from 1985
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync to 1987. Many other people also contributed to <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> development
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync during that time: Doug Kingston, Craig Partridge, Smoot

a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync Mike Muuss, Jim Bloom and Mike Schwartz. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> maintenance was subsequently
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync handled by Mike Karels and �ivind Kure.
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions 4.9 and 4.9.1 were
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync released by Digital Equipment
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync Corporation (now Compaq Computer Corporation). Paul Vixie, then
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync a DEC employee, became <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>'s
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync primary caretaker. He was assisted
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync by Phil Almquist, Robert Elz, Alan Barrett, Paul Albitz, Bryan

a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync have been developed and maintained
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync by the Internet Systems Consortium and its predecessor,
a734c64bff58bda2fa48c2795453e092167b0ff7vboxsync the Internet Software Consortium, with support being provided
