bind-sdb - The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) DNS (Domain Name System) server with database backends.

Description:

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS
(Domain Name System) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named),
which resolves host names to IP addresses; a resolver library
(routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and
tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating properly.

BIND SDB (Simplified Database Backend) provides named_sdb, the DNS
name server compiled to include support for using alternative Zone Databases
stored in an LDAP server (ldapdb), a postgreSQL database (pgsqldb), or in the
filesystem (dirdb), in addition  to the standard in-memory RBT (Red Black Tree)
zone database.
