[comp.sys.hp] BIND

lrb@rrivax.rri.uwo.ca (Lance R. Bailey) (07/25/90)

my 9000/540 replacement must have native tcp/ip support. the 822 is
one of the candidates and it even has a bind implementation.  does
any one out there use it?  how good is it.

If you are talking about the nameserver (DNS) capability, HP-UX 
implements BIND, Berkeley's (BSD 4.3) version of a domain name server.
Thus it is a widely used version, and cleanly implemented (ie.
there is no need to run Yellow Pages if you do not want to, 
unlike another vendor).

Well, I've run the Series 800 named for HP-UX 7.0 on my 835 and it's one of
the more robust, better-behaved versions I've seen.

But then my opinion could hardly be called unbiased...
