BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the
Domain Name System (DNS) protocols and provides an openly redistributable
reference implementation of the major components of the Domain Name
System, including:

	* a Domain Name System server (named)
	* a Domain Name System resolver library
	* tools for verifying the proper operation of the DNS server

  The BIND DNS Server is used on the vast majority of name serving machines
on the Internet, providing a robust and stable architecture on top of which
an organization's naming architecture can be built.  The resolver library
included in the BIND distribution provides the standard APIs for translation
between domain names and Internet addresses and is intended to be linked with
applications requiring name service.

   If you are running any version of BIND prior to 8.2.2 patchlevel 5,
   we recommend you upgrade to the current version for security reasons.
   There is one potential remote access exploit fixed in this release,
   and there are several fixes for various denial-of-service bugs.
