Before attemting to use DNS any client will see first in hosts file, next cache of dns then try dns. For you objective alone you don't need to run DNS. > Can any one help me with configuration of DNS on Linux so that i could refer > the apache web-server running on that box by typing www.my-domain.com from > my windows box. > DNS configuration:- /etc/named.conf you have to tell where the files are located and whether each zone it is master or secondary and encryption keys etc. Zone file you have to create as you mentioned in named.conf file. DNS and BIND fron orielly is good book. You can as well do some google and find out. If you put entries in every client you don't require to run DNS. If address changes then it invites trouble. If you are running DHCP on win2k then DNS is also running on that.
