Read the DNS Howto and the Network Administration Guide. There's enough
info there to set up a simple domain.

The linux.bogus example in the howto should be enough for you to set up
your own domain.
Here are some thing to remember for diald users setting up their own
domain:
1) Make sure to change the ignore rule for named <-> named communications.
Now that you are running your own named, it'll need to bring up the line to
query other named servers.
in the UDP rules in standard.filter, there's may be a line like:
ignore udp udp.source=udp.domain
ignore udp udp.dest=udp.domain
change them to something like:
accept udp 30 udp.source=udp.domain
accept udp 30 udp.dest=udp.domain
2) Update your kernel to 2.0.33 and add the following line in a script
that get runs on bootup.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
This is important for dialup users with dynamic ip addresses. This should
eliminate some of those "timeout on first try" problems. It's not
absolutely necessary to do this, but I highly recommend it.
