[ih] DNS origins?

[Kevin J Dunlap]

Yes, at UC Berkeley Computer Systems Research Group, 
Douglas Terry, Mark Painter, David Riggle, and Songnian Zhou made up the initial BIND project team.  
Doug was working on his PhD and the others were working on their masters.

Paul Mockapetris would know better about Doug's contribution to DNS RFC.

RFC 833 was already written by the time I started working on DNS.
I worked on BIND and 4.3BSD Unix from 1985 - 1987 at UCB CSRG.
