dns server

[wendo]

where would a good place be to start looking for dns server setup?

are you looking to set your machine up as a DNS server, or do you need a remote DNS server for hostname resolving? i meet a lot of people in IRC (irc.openprojects.net #linuxhelp) that think they need to set their machines up as DNS servers, when all they really need is to add a couple remote DNS server IP addresses to /etc/resolv.conf :)

if you need to set up a DNS server, these should at least get you started:
