DNS BIND, which stands for Berkeley Internet Name Domain, is an implementation
of the Domain Name System (DNS) and is the most common use of the Domain Name
System (DNS). Now, the complete implementation of DNS BIND/iX runs on an
MPE/iX shell operation system on MPE/iX release 6.0. Initially, DNS BIND/iX
was written for UNIX; however, the latest version of DNS BIND/iX 8.1.1 runs on
MPE/iX systems.
Overview of DNS BIND/iX
BIND DNS/iX is a domain name system which consists of a client-server
mechanism. The name servers comprise the server half of the DNS's
client-server mechanism. The name server is the NM program NAMED
which maintains information about some part of the DNS called a zone and has
capabilities to retrieve information regarding other zones. The clients are
resolver routines provided as NMRL libraries. The resolvers are clients that
query the name servers, interpret the responses and send the answers to the
requester.
BIND DNS/iX makes your domain names visible to the internet as well as
handling client requests to resolve domain names within your domain and
external domains. Prior to DNS BIND/iX, the HP3000 users had to rely on other
machines or other operating system to host their organization DNS information.
Now, you can host it on HP3000 systems.
Overview of Syslog/iX
Syslog is the standard event logging system for Syslog/iX UNIX, now the
Syslog/iX can run on the MPE/iX shell operating system on MPE/iX release 6.0.
With the features of Syslog/iX available on MPE/iX systems, the event messages
can be logged to files, terminal devices, or even forward to other syslog
systems. Syslog/iX can accept data from the local system via an AF_UNIX socket
or from any system on the network via an AF_INET UDP socket on port 514. DNS
BIND/iX uses Syslog/iX as the event logging subsystem.
