BIND is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. The 
DNS protocols are part of the core Internet standards. They specify the 
process by which one computer can find another computer on the basis of its 
name. The BIND software distribution contains all of the software needed 
both to ask name service questions and to answer such questions.

This is an update to the latest upstream release, which includes a fix for 
CVE-2016-2776:

ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.10.4-P3/RELEASE-NOTES-bind-9.10.4-P3.html

This release also includes several packaging changes:

* The libraries are now built shared and packaged separately.

* The Administrator Reference Manual is now available as bind-doc.

* GeoIP support is enabled.
