Berkeley Internet Name Domain

An updated version of Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) has been integrated in the Solaris 9 release. The updated version is BIND version 8.2.4.

BIND functionality includes the following:

• In.named configuration options – See the named.conf(4) and the named-bootconf(1M) man pages.

• Extensions to the resolver()(3RESOLV) interface that are safe to use in multithreaded applications.

• The addition of the ndc command and the dnskeygen command – The ndc command is used to start, stop, or reconfigure in.named. The dnskeygen command is used to create TSIG and DNSSEC keys. See the dig(1M) man page for instructions on how to gather information from the DNS servers. See also the ndc(1M) and dnskeygen(1M) man pages.
