Hesiodsearch for term

A name coined by Project Athena (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) for the "name-server" services of the network, which keeps track of resources and translates a request for a logical destination to a physical location. Developed as a means of maintaining widely used, infrequently updated databases from a centralized source. Built on the widely used BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) suite, Hesiod can be used to map practically any kind of text entry (e.g., passwd, printcap, maildrop) into the Domain Name System (DNS) records.
