About:
BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is a complete, open-source DNS server implementation. It provides the core functionality for translating human-readable domain names into IP addresses and managing internet directory services. It is the most widely used DNS software on the Internet.
Key Features:
  • Authoritative DNS server for hosting your own domains
  • Recursive resolver for caching and forwarding queries
  • DNSSEC support for cryptographic security and validation
  • Dynamic DNS (DDNS) for automatic record updates
Use Cases:
  • Hosting internal or public DNS zones for a domain
  • Setting up a private caching DNS resolver for a local network
  • Implementing DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing attacks
Alternatives:
  • dnsmasq – Lighter weight, often used for local development or simple DHCP/DNS on LANs
  • unbound – Focusing primarily on recursive resolving with high security and privacy
