Freeware BIND/iX for HP 3000 MPE
http://www.cccd.edu/~markb/bindix.html
Freeware DNS server and clients for MPE
Last updated May 14, 1998 @ 2100 UTC
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's New
* May 14, 1998
o Upgraded to the official 8.1.2 production release which includes
the MPE port and thus will compile "straight out of the box" on
MPE.
* April 9, 1998
o Upgraded to 8.1.2-T3B. While this is technically a beta release,
it is a production candidate, and I've been running 8.1.2
internally for a couple of months now without any problems. This
release fixes a number of security bugs, so if you're running
something earlier, you want to install 8.1.2-T3B (or else wait a
week or two for the production release of 8.1.2).
o The MPE port has finally been incorporated into the official BIND
source distribution. 8.1.2-T3B will compile "straight out of the
box" on MPE.
* March 23, 1998
o Minor web page typo corrected for /etc/resolv.conf.

Welcome
This is the official home page for the HP 3000 MPE port of the ISC BIND DNS
server . Check here for the latest news, implemented functionality, known
bugs, to-do list, etc. Status reports about major milestones will also be
posted to the HP3000-L mailing list and its associated gatewayed newsgroup
comp.sys.hp.mpe.
I'm doing this port because it is the foundation for other important
packages such as sendmail.
Please send your comments, questions, and bug reports directly to me, Mark
Bixby, by e-mailing to [log in to unmask] Or just post them to HP3000-L. You
can also telephone me at +1 714 438-4647 Monday-Friday 0815-1715 PDT
(1515-0015 UTC).
The platform I'm using to do this port is an HP 3000 969KS200 running
MPE/iX 5.5 and using the gcc C compiler from the Interex Freeware tape.
This is my only HP 3000, so I'm very interested to hear from people running
MPE/iX 5.0 and/or using the HP C compiler.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to HP CSY for providing me with
the resources and encouragement to do this port.

System Requirements
* Requires MPE/iX 5.0 or later.
* Requires Syslog/iX from http://www.cccd.edu/~markb/syslogix.html.

What is BIND and why should I care?
BIND is the most commonly used DNS server on the Internet. BIND makes your
domain names visible to the Internet, as well as handling client requests
to resolve domain names other than your own.
Prior to BIND/iX, an HP 3000 shop had to rely on some other machine to host
their organization DNS information. Now you can host it locally on your HP
3000.
BIND/iX was intially ported from BIND 8.1 released in May 1997.
