bind 9.19.24

DNS (Domain Name System) implementation

BIND implements the DNS protocols for the Internet. It is both a reference implementation of those protocols and production-grade software, suitable for use in high-volume and high-reliability applications.

The name stands for "Berkeley Internet Name Domain" because the software originated in the early 1980s at the University of California at Berkeley.

delv: DNS lookup and validation utility
