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. + </p> + + <p> + The first working domain name server, called "Jeeves", was + written in 1983-84 by Paul Mockapetris for operation on DEC + Tops-20 + machines located at the University of Southern California's + Information + Sciences Institute (USC-ISI) and SRI International's Network + Information + 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). + </p> + <p> + 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 Øivind 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. + </p> + </div> +<div class="navfooter"> +<hr> +<table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"> +<tr> +<td width="40%" align="left"> +<a accesskey="p" href="Bv9ARM.ch09.html">Prev</a> </td> +<td width="20%" align="center"> </td> +<td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="Bv9ARM.ch11.html">Next</a> +</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Appendix A.
