This is a wide open question. We would probably provide a better answer
if we knew what you were trying to host DNS for (a company or just home
use). For a starting point I would like to point you to the oreilly
Bind&Dns book 3rd edition, this is the most complete reference to DNS I
have seen. But essentially to answer your question without being to
vague or pointing you in the wrong direction, all you need to do is go
to the internic and register your TWO dns servers and then register your
domain name after your servers has been recognized by the root dns
servers usually about 24 hours. As for equipment I know individuals and
I do it myself, that is hosting a dns box on a dsl link with very small
machines mine in particular is a p133 with 64 meg of memory running BSD
been up for 64 days and has never swapped to disk. Now a company does
not need all that big of box either if it will just be resolving dns
queries I know of a company right now that has about 35,000 employees
and the primary dns server is a Pentium pro 200 with 512 meg of memory
on a BSD flavor also.
I hope this helps.

Subject: off topic, becoming a public dns [7:360]
Hey I figured you all would know this right off, what
are the appropriate channels for becoming a public
dns? Also is there anything special that I need to be
aware of as far as equipment goes(how high end should
I go with my equipment etc.)?
Heidi
