Editing BIND (section)

==History==
BIND was originally written by four [[graduate student]]s at the [[Computer Systems Research Group]] (CSRG) at the [[University of California, Berkeley]], Douglas Terry, Mark Painter, David Riggle and Songnian Zhou, in the early 1980s as a result of a [[Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency|DARPA]] grant. The acronym ''BIND'' is for ''Berkeley Internet Name Domain'', from a technical paper published in 1984.<ref name="Terry"/> It was first released with [[Berkeley Software Distribution]] 4.3BSD.

Versions of BIND through 4.8.3 were maintained by the CSRG.<ref name="history">{{cite web

[[Paul Vixie]] of [[Digital Equipment Corporation]] (DEC) took over BIND development in 1988, releasing versions 4.9 and 4.9.1. Vixie continued to work on BIND after leaving DEC. BIND Version 4.9.2 was sponsored by Vixie Enterprises. Vixie eventually founded the [[Internet Software Consortium]] (ISC), which became the entity responsible for BIND versions starting with 4.9.3.<ref name="history" />

BIND 8 was released by ISC in May 1997.<ref name="history" />

Version 9 was developed by [[Akamai Technologies|Nominum]], Inc. under an ISC outsourcing contract, and the first version was released 9 October 2000.<ref>{{cite web

The development of BIND 9 took place under a combination of commercial and military contracts. Most of the features of BIND 9 were funded by UNIX vendors who wanted to ensure that BIND stayed competitive with Microsoft's DNS offerings;{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} the [[DNSSEC]] features were funded by the US military, which regarded DNS security as important. BIND 9 was released in September 2000.<ref name="history" />

In 2009, ISC started an effort to develop a new version of the software suite, initially called BIND10. In addition to DNS service, the BIND10 suite also included [[IPv4]] and [[IPv6]] DHCP server components. In April 2014, with BIND10 release 1.2.0 the ISC concluded its involvement in the project and renamed it to ''Bundy'',<ref>{{Cite web |last=Consortium |first=Internet Systems |date=2014-04-17 |title=ISC Concludes BIND 10 Development with Release 1.2 |url=https://www.isc.org/blogs/isc-concludes-bind-10-development-with-release-1-2-project-renamed-bundy/ |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=www.isc.org |language=en-us}}</ref><ref name="bundy-dns.de">{{cite web| url = http://bundy-dns.de| title = Bundy, authoritative DNS and DHCP server}}</ref> moving the source code repository to GitHub<ref>{{cite web| url = https://github.com/bundy-dns/bundy| title = bundy repo at GitHub| website = [[GitHub]]| date = 29 July 2022}}</ref> for further development by outside public efforts.<ref>{{cite web
