  That's somebody's third-party site.  It links to some older versions
of BIND, so it's prolly not the best resource to obtain files from.
ISC has included MS-Windows in their BIND development efforts for some
time now.   You can actually run named on MS-Windows, or just get it
for the diagnostic tools.  Official source and binaries for the latest
releases are available at <http://www.isc.org/>.

  (For those wondering what this is all about: ISC is the Internet
Systems Consortium.  Among other things, they maintain the reference
implementations of DNS and DHCP.  The DNS suite is called BIND -- from
Berkley Internet Name Domain.  "named" (name daemon) is the DNS server
itself.  "dig" is a diagnostic tool, similar to "nslookup", but
better.)

  If you like that, check out the "Feature List" for the *nix pppd (PPP daemon):
