Hi All,

Newbie to Linux... Wanting to become more educated about this operating system and want to setup a simple DNS server. I've looked around, gone to book stores, done whatever reading I could on DNS and all I can come up with is...

It allows "www.YourCompany.com" to have the associated IP resolved... duhhh... no kidding? You think we all want to memorize stupid numbers that have no real meaning or ease of remembering for users around the world?

Ok, enough sarcasm. Anyhow, under linux, I see things about Host Name, Domain Name, and other things about setting DNS server IPs, but nothing to tie it all together.

Does anyone have any relatively easy directions to get this done using Linux (running RedHat 7.2 if that makes it any easier).

TIA


Don
