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.) > The instructions are a hoot....
