bind 8 | bind | 8.4.4 | Maintainers |
| BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is the most deployed implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols in the Internet. BIND provides an openly redistributable reference implementation of the major components of the Domain Name System, including: a Domain Name System server, a Domain Name System resolver library and tools for verifying the proper operation of the DNS server. Starting from release 8.4.1, bind 8 supports also IPv6 transport for named, named-xfer and ndc. |  |
bind 9 | bind | 9.2.3 | Maintainers |
| BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND architecture. Some of the important features of BIND 9 are DNS Security, IPv6, DNS Protocol Enhancements, Views, Multiprocessor Support and Improved Portability Architecture. | |
djbdns | djbdns | 1.05 | Felix Von Leitner |
| djbdns is a collection of Domain Name System tools. It includes software for all the fundamental DNS operations: DNS cache, DNS server and DNS client. djbdns also includes several DNS debugging tools, notably dnstrace, which administrators use to diagnose misconfigured remote servers. |  |

maradns | maradns | 1.1.39 | Maintainers |
| MaraDNS is a package that implements the Domain Name Service (DNS), an essential internet service. MaraDNS is intended for environments where a DNS server must be secure and where the server must use the absolute minimum number of resources possible. MaraDNS doesn't support IPv6 yet, but the developers plan to make the next 1.2 release of MaraDNS IPv6 enabled. | |

totd | totd | 1.4 | Maintainers |
| Totd is a small DNS proxy nameserver that supports IPv6 only hosts/networks that communicate with the IPv4 world using some translation mechanism. Examples of such translation mechanisms currently in use are IPv6/IPv4 Network Address and Packet Translation (NAT-PT) and Application level translators (like KAME's faithd). | |

dbind | dbind | 0.1 | Maintainers |
| Dbind is an automatic tool to update bind9 tables. Dbind can be used to implement dynamic DNS or as a tool to create and update IPv4 and IPv6 DNS tables just by using a single command. Since there is no need to input or edit addresses, it is very difficult to create inconsistent tables. | |
