The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical decentralized naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. In short translates every computer name or Internet URL into an IP address.
BIND is open source software that implements the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols for the Internet.
