In this implementation of BIND 8.1.1, the configuration and data files for the
DNS server are found under the /BIND/PUB directory of the POSIX name
space, though the DNS server is started by running a job from the MPE/iX name
space — JNAMED.PUB.BIND which runs program
NAMED.PUB.BIND.
The NAMED program maintains a cache of information, taken initially from its
zone files (database files) augmented by information which it has retrieved
from other DNS servers on the network.
Syslog is the standard event logging subsystem for UNIX, which has now been
implemented as Syslog/iX on MPE/iX 6.0 running in the POSIX environment. DNS
BIND/iX server logging is handled by Syslog/iX. In order to run the DNS
server, you will first configure and start Syslog/iX. Details on configuring
and running Syslog/iX can be found in
Appendix E "Configure and Run Syslog/iX" of this
manual.
The client (resolver) code has already been implemented in earlier releases of
MPE/iX via library routines and the configuration file
RESLVCNF.NET.SYS (linked to /etc/resolv.conf).
RESLVCNF.NET.SYS contains information about the domain of the client
host and the IP addresses of the local DNS servers who can be queried for
information.
