BIND

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is the most widely used DNS server software in the world. It has been the reference implementation of the DNS protocol for decades and supports everything from simple caching resolvers to complex authoritative DNS architectures with DNSSEC.

Why run your own DNS

When you rely on a third-party DNS provider, they see every domain your infrastructure resolves: a detailed map of your operations. Running your own DNS with BIND keeps that information internal. You also gain full control over response times, caching behaviour, and the ability to implement split-horizon DNS for internal and external views.

DNSSEC and security

BIND fully supports DNSSEC, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of DNS responses. For organisations operating in security-sensitive environments, this is essential; it prevents DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks that can redirect traffic to malicious destinations.

Our expertise

We help companies plan and evaluate DNS infrastructure with BIND, advising on architecture, DNSSEC deployment, and how to integrate self-hosted DNS into your broader network strategy.
