Its a long procedure! If u want DNS server just for ur local machine, then start the 'named' service and set 127.0.0.1 in ur "resolv.conf" file, else post the output of "named.local" inside the directory "/var/named/chroot/var/named/".

I am confused

You want to run a DNS server or setting up local DNS resolving for browsing wsites, etc. ?

Huh, good point! Guess I read between the lines.....must have scared the poor fellow by saying carelessly "its a long procedure".

I came into this confusion coz in most cases the network is configured for DHCP which obtains DNS information and puts it in /etc/resolv.conf automatically.

Either he has a static configuration for the network or he means a DNS server.

Use system-config-bind
What exactly do you want to configure in DNS? There's lots of configuration that can be done.
And why are you using RHEL?

First of all why are you using RHEL and do you have a legal copy of it?

Why you *demand* things all the time??? A nicer tone would be much appreciable.

He says, he is learning sysadmin in RHEL5, well I am also into the same course - RH033. Do you know every RedHat student gets a legal copy of latest RHEL (currently RHEL5).
