[fa.tcp-ip] domain servers

tcp-ip@ucbvax.ARPA (05/28/85)

From: stanonik@nprdc (Ron Stanonik)

We've recently obtained a copy of BIND, the domain server/resover
for 4.xbsd.  We're able to query servers at berkeley, which is
not surprising since they're probably running similar (if not the
same) code.  We haven't succeeded in querying  the server at sri-nic
(or usc-isib or usc-isif).  Tcp connections are refused (ie, no server
listening to port 53), and no packets are received in response to udp
queries.  Has anyone (particularly using BIND) succeeded querying sri-nic?
Any tricks?  Any common blunders installing BIND?  Is there a better
mailing list for these questions?

Thanks,

Ron Stanonik

I have successfully installed BIND here at MIT.  I have no problems
querying the NIC or ISIF (though sometimes they don't answer if they
don't know the name you requested).  I have also found and fixed at
least one bug so far (cache aging) in bind.  Is there a mailing list for
BIND users/hackers to communicate, I would like to know this too.

In response to the message sent  28 May 1985 1139-PDT (Tuesday) from stanonik@nprdc 

Ron,

Mike O'Connor (oconnor@dcn9) has BIND up and running on our Sun here and
has joy of NIC, ISIB and ISIF UDP servers. Dinky fuzzball DCN1 (128.4.0.1)
runs a UDP server which caches the ARPA domain, but is not full-featured.

The appropriate list is namedroppers@nic.
