BNLS = Battle.net Logon Server.
It's a server that performs various processing required to log on Battle.net, including version checks, CD-key decoding and encryption, and username/password encryption.
It does all the above for all the Blizzard clients that have a CD-key including Warcraft 3.
The specifications are here: http://www.valhallalegends.com/yoni/BNLSProtocolSpec.txt
