Page 1 of 2 Unbound adalah alternatif DNS resolver dan juga DNS server, konon Unbound lebih aman dan lebih cepat dalam melakukan resolving ke domain atau juga dalam melakukan query. Hm..., penasaran juga dengan yang satu ini. Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Mountain View, CA – May 20, 2008 Unbound sebagai alternatif BIND sebagai Domain Name System [DNS] Server dirilis. Rilis perdana ini mengeluarkan versi 1.0 yang dapat didownload Unbound Official Site. Seperti BIND, Unbound dirilis sebagai software open source yang berada dibawah lisensi BSD. "We have released the software under the BSD license that allows use in other products without
any major restrictions,” said Olaf Kolkman, director of NLnet Labs, a not-for-profit research and
development foundation in the Netherlands. “We hope that making our software freely available
will aid the deployment of DNSSEC, which fits straight into NLnet Labs charter.”
"Although simplicity and performance have always been primary goals for Unbound, we have
placed extra attention on security features, particularly since DNSSEC is not yet deployed
widely,” said Wouter Wijngaards, lead Unbound developer at NLnet Labs. “Unbound provides
defenses against forgery while suffering minimal degradation in performance. In
addition, we have worked hard to produce well documented, readable and elegant code. With
that we try to make the barrier for security audit and code review as low as possible." Unbound juga mengklaim dirinya adalah software alternativ BIND yang mempunyai high performance, dan mampu bekerja lebih cepat dan aman. Simak pernyataan-pernyataan dibawah ini:
"The ptotype orof Unbound demonstrated that we had made good architectural decisions and that the
complex security algorithms worked. The Java implementation, however, would never be able to meet the
performance characteristics that real-world use would demand," said David Blacka, senior research
engineer at VeriSign.
Roy Arends, Senior Researcher at Nominet UK, said the Unbound prototype served “to swiftly test new
interoperability of DNS protocol extensions. The original modular design has proved to work well and kept
the overall design straightforward and clean. The Java prototype was used for several new DNS protocol
features in use today.”
