Subject: Domain system implementations (summary)
Cc: lazear
Thanks to all who responded with Domain system implementation info.
The summary has been normalized and appears below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Several implementations of the domain system exist. The first two
paragraphs (BIND and JEEVES) discuss the prominent (and most mature) two
implementations and their authors/maintainers. These implementations
are available online. The last paragraphs list implementations under
development. Points of contact can supply more information.
The intent of listing these implementations is to give vendors the
opportunity to inspect working code. These implementations embody ex-
perience with the domain system and offer interpretations of the proto-
cols found acceptable in operational environments.
4BSD Unix Resolver and Server (BIND)
The vast majority of hosts running lower level domain servers on
the Arpanet are hosted on 4BSD systems and run the code called BIND.
This code is maintained for periodic releases by Mike Karels (UCB). His
mail addresses are:
ARPANET: karels@okeeffe.berkeley.edu
US MAIL: Computer Systems Research Group
Computer Science Division
Department of EE & CS
University of California
Berkeley, CA 94720
Development of BIND is coordinated by Doug Kingston (BRL), who
offers pre-release versions to test sites. His mail addresses are:
ARPANET: dpk@brl.arpa
US MAIL: Advanced Computer Systems Team
Systems Engineering and Concepts Analysis Division
U.S. Army Ballistic Research Laboratory
Attn: SLCBR-SECAD (Kingston)
APG, MD 21005-5066
A commercial version of BIND has been shipped with Sun Microsystems'
operating system version 3.2. Celeste Stokely is the point of contact.
Her mail addresses are:
ARPANET: celeste@sun.com
US MAIL: Sun Microsystems Software Support
2550 Garcia Avenue
Mountain View, CA 94043
Tops-20 Server (JEEVES)
All domain root servers on the Arpanet are hosted on TOPS-20 sys-
tems and run the code called JEEVES. The code is maintained by Paul
Mockapetris (ISI). His mail addresses are:
ARPANET: pvm@venera.isi.edu
US MAIL: USC Information Sciences Institute
4676 Admiralty Way
Marina del Rey, California 90292-6695
MS-DOS Server and Resolver
FTP Software is working on a port of BIND to their PC/TCP environ-
ment under MS/DOS (their PC/TCP package). They already have a resolver
that depends on recursive queries. The point of contact is Philip A.
Prindeville. His mail addresses are:
ARPANET: pap4@ai.ai.mit.edu
US MAIL: FTP Software Inc
P.O. Box 150
Kendall Sq. Branch
Boston, MA 02142
Tops-20 Resolver
A resolver is being written in C for Tops-20 by Rob Austein. His
mail addresses are:
ARPANET: sra@xx.lcs.mit.edu.
US MAIL: MIT LCS NE43-503
545 Technology Square
Cambridge MA 02139
Symbolics Resolver
Symbolics Inc. has an implementation for the 36xx series Lisp
Machines. Steven L. Sneddon is the point of contact. His addresses
are:
ARPANET: sned@pegasus.scrc.symbolics.com
US MAIL: Manager, Networks and Communications
Symbolics, Inc.
11 Cambridge Center
Cambridge, MA 02142
Xerox Cedar Resolver
Xerox has a resolver running in the Cedar language/environment at
Xerox PARC. John Larson is the point of contact. His addresses are:
ARPANET: jlarson.pa@xerox.com
US MAIL: Xerox Palo Alto Research Center
3333 Coyote Hill Road
Palo Alto, CA 94304
Harris Resolver
There is a domain resolver for the Harris H series that handles
canonical name, host address, name server, and mail agent (MX) records.
Bruce Orchard is the point of contact. His addresses are:
ARPANET: orchard/bruc@scarecrow.waisman.wisc.edu
US MAIL: 549 Waisman Center
University of Wisconsin-Madison
1500 Highland Avenue
Madison, Wisconsin 53705-2280
Fuzzball Server and Resolver
Dave Mills has both server and solver for the so-called PDP11/LSI-
11 Fuzzballs. However, these are not complete implementations and do
not support zone transfers and so forth. They have little use outside
the fuzzball community, since the code is in assembler and is not for
Unix. His addresses are:
ARPANET: mills@udel.edu
US MAIL: Electrical Engineering Department
University of Delaware
Newark, DE 19716
Multics Resolver
There is a resolver for Multics that is nearly ready for release.
Art Beattie is the point of contact. His addresses are:
ARPANET: beattie%pco@bco-multics.arpa
US MAIL: MS K55
Honeywell Bull
PO Box 8000
Phoenix, AZ, 85066-8000
VAX/VMS Resolver
There is a partial resolver implementation (only supports address
queries and IN-ADDR PTR lookups) which is part of the CMU/TEK TCP/IP
package for VAX/VMS. It is written in BLISS-32. Vince Fuller is the
point of contact. His addresses are:
ARPANET: vince.fuller@c.cs.cmu.edu
