 The BIND software distribution has three parts:

A Domain Name System server:A program called "named" (pronounced "name-dee"), which stands for Name Daemon, answers all received questions by following the rules specified in the DNS protocol standards. You can provide DNS services on the Internet by installing this software on a server computer and giving it correct information about your domain names.

A Domain Name System resolver library:A resolver is a program that resolves questions about names by sending those questions to appropriate servers and responding appropriately to the servers' replies. A resolver library is a collection of software components that a programmer can add to software being developed, which will give that software the ability to resolve names. 

Software tools for testing servers:These are the tools we use, and we include them in the distribution to assist you with your own diagnostics.
