While I'm not yet ready to release the code yet due to a system crash issue
and a DGRAM sendto() EAGAIN issue, the BIND/iX DNS server should be stable
enough for some public exercising.  I've been aimlessly surfing the web
this afternoon with Win95 configured to use BIND/iX as the primary server,
and everything seems to work fine.

The BIND/iX server's IP address is 159.115.2.222 and the hostname is
mbloaner.dis.cccd.edu.

To test against it, you can take your choice of:

1) add a "nameserver 159.115.2.222" entry to the front of the list in
/etc/resolv.conf on either an MPE or UNIX system.  (NOTE: don't forget this
is only a temporary test!)

2) add 159.115.2.222 to the beginning of the DNS server list in the TCP/IP
driver for Microsoft Windows.  (NOTE: don't forget this is only a temporary
test!)

3) use standalone clients like nslookup to do some random querying.

Note that 1) and 2) both involve *ordered* lists, so you must put BIND/iX at
the top in order for the test to be valid.

The BIND/iX server is the master for just a single demo zone, mpe.cccd.edu.
The zone contains just one record, a CNAME for www.mpe.cccd.edu which points
at Apache/iX running on the same loaner machine.

The small collection of HTML documentation that comes with BIND is available
at:

        http://www.mpe.cccd.edu/~MGR.BIND/

Note that everything within mpe.cccd.edu is just temporary.  Permanent BIND
links can be found at http://www.isc.org/bind.html.

I will provide an official BIND/iX home page once I release the code.
