DNS BIND Troubleshooting Steps
BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS). It consists of a network of servers which provide a distributed database, including names and addresses of host machines. This information is accessible to client hosts which are running resolver software. This enables them to send queries to and receive replies from the servers.

The resolver software runs on MPE/iX versions preceding 6.0 so that the MPE/iX client hosts can query DNS servers running on other platforms. On MPE/iX 6.0 there is a full implementation of BIND which means that your MPE/iX host can now act as a DNS server on your network.
