BIND 10

BIND 10 is ISC's next generation of BIND, the most widely used DNS server on the internet. In its fourth year of development, BIND 10 has reached a major milestone: the Alpha Release of the authoritative nameserver!

BIND 10 alpha is available now, with the Beta being released toward the end of 2012. The DHCP implementation and recursive resolver are both planned to enter user test later in 2013.

  • To download the Alpha Release, register here. The download link will be provided after registration.
  • To discuss BIND 10 with the community, join our user list: bind10-users@isc.org

BIND 10 Alpha is a fully featured authoritative nameserver, focusing on:

  • Supporting all major DNS protocol standards, including DNSSEC and DDNS
  • Generic DB backend framework (currently with SQLite3)
  • Fast and memory efficient in-memory backend
  • Modular architecture for better customization and resilience
