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

The first working domain name server, called "Jeeves", was
|
|||
|
|
written in 1983-84 by Paul Mockapetris for operation on DEC

|
|||
|

machines located at the University of Southern California's

Center (SRI-NIC). A <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> server for
|
|||
|
|
Unix machines, the Berkeley Internet
|
|||
|
|
Name Domain (<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>) package, was
|
|||
|
|
written soon after by a group of
|
|||
|
|
graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley
|
|||
|
|
under
|
|||
|
|
a grant from the US Defense Advanced Research Projects
|
|||
|
|
Administration
|
|||

(DARPA).

Versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> through
|
|||
|
|
4.8.3 were maintained by the Computer
|
|||
|
|
Systems Research Group (CSRG) at UC Berkeley. Douglas Terry, Mark
|
|||
|
|
Painter, David Riggle and Songnian Zhou made up the initial <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
|
|||
|
|
project team. After that, additional work on the software package
|
|||
|
|
was done by Ralph Campbell. Kevin Dunlap, a Digital Equipment
|
|||
|
|
Corporation
|
|||
|
|
employee on loan to the CSRG, worked on <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> for 2 years, from 1985
|
|||
|
|
to 1987. Many other people also contributed to <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> development
|
|||
|
|
during that time: Doug Kingston, Craig Partridge, Smoot
|
|||
|
|
Carl-Mitchell,
|
|||
|
|
Mike Muuss, Jim Bloom and Mike Schwartz. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> maintenance was subsequently
|
|||
|
|
handled by Mike Karels and <20>ivind Kure.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions 4.9 and 4.9.1 were
|
|||
|
|
released by Digital Equipment
|
|||
|
|
Corporation (now Compaq Computer Corporation). Paul Vixie, then
|
|||
|
|
a DEC employee, became <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>'s
|
|||
|
|
primary caretaker. He was assisted
|
|||
|
|
by Phil Almquist, Robert Elz, Alan Barrett, Paul Albitz, Bryan
|
|||
|
|
Beecher, Andrew
|
|||
|
|
Partan, Andy Cherenson, Tom Limoncelli, Berthold Paffrath, Fuat
|
|||
|
|
Baran, Anant Kumar, Art Harkin, Win Treese, Don Lewis, Christophe
|
|||
|
|
Wolfhugel, and others.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
In 1994, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> version 4.9.2 was sponsored by
|
|||
|
|
Vixie Enterprises. Paul
|
|||
|
|
Vixie became <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>'s principal
|
|||
|
|
architect/programmer.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions from 4.9.3 onward
|
|||
|
|
have been developed and maintained
|
|||
|
|
by the Internet Systems Consortium and its predecessor,
|
|||
|
|
the Internet Software Consortium, with support being provided
|
|||
|
|
by ISC's sponsors.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
As co-architects/programmers, Bob Halley and
|
|||
|
|
Paul Vixie released the first production-ready version of
|
|||
|
|
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> version 8 in May 1997.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
BIND version 9 was released in September 2000 and is a
|
|||
|
|
major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying
|
|||
|
|
BIND architecture.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
BIND versions 4 and 8 are officially deprecated.
|
|||
|
|
No additional development is done
|
|||
|
|
on BIND version 4 or BIND version 8.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> development work is made
|
|||
|
|
possible today by the sponsorship
|
|||
|
|
of several corporations, and by the tireless work efforts of
|
|||
|
|
numerous individuals.
