This document provides information about configuring the HSM with BIND by using PKCS #11 libraries. For additional questions related to your HSM, see the relevant user guide.

Its most prominent component, named (short for name daemon), performs both of the primary DNS server roles, acting as an authoritative name server for DNS zones and as a recursive resolver in the network.
