Well ... basically, you run the BIND package on them. This is mainly the
program "named" that actas as a daemon providing name service. No doubt
there is a BIND .rpm.
Beyond that ... the details depend on what you want to do. Run a caching
nameserver (that your other workstations use to resolve their name queries)?
Provide on-LAN name service for a bunch of private-address workstations? Be
the authoritative name servers for some domain(s)?
There's a DNS NowTo (at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html), and
BIND probably comes with docs and sample config files. Take a look at that
stuff, clarify what type of name server you want to run, and come bck to us
with any specific loose ends you still have.
