[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Domain Nameservers

Any recommendations as to what to use for an Internet domain name
server if one doesn't have a VAX Unix machine to use?  Our primary
mainframe is an IBM 3090 running MVS/XA, but none of the IBM MVS
implementations has a domain name server.  I believe that the new
IBM TCP/IP for VM product has one, but we don't run VM.  A domain
name server that could run on a PC, either under DOS or some flavor
of Unix would be real handy for us.

I am sending this to 3 lists, sorry for duplicates that you may
receive.

Here at the University of Georgia we are setting up a TCP based network.
The need for a Domain Nameserver has arisen.  I have looked for on which
would run on an IBM PC/AT or similiar machine.  So far I have not found
one.

What options are available?  The only ones I've found so far are a SUN
workstation, a MicroVax running Berkley Unix, or some other small system
Running Unix.

Currently we do not have an Unix machine in the Computer center.

Thank you for your assistance.
