Basic process - Install and configure bind. If possible set up on two or more machines/ip. IMHO it's less hassle to set up duplicate masters and rsync changes from your 'main' install instead of setting up master/slave configurations. create zone file for your domain, ie $TTL 86400 example.com. IN SOA ns1.example.com. n...@example.com. ( 2012010210 28800 7200 1209600 86400 ) example.com. NS ns1.example.com. example.com. NS ns2.example.com. example.com. MX 0 mail.example.com. example.com. A 192.168.0.133 www.example.com. A 192.168.0.133 * IN CNAME www.example.com. cname is good for people who enjoy making typos like wwww and ww add your domain zone file to named.conf, ie zone "example.com" IN { type master; file "example.com.hosts"; }; reload nameserver rndc reload export your nameservers to root ns, this process varies for registrar - look for "use my own nameserver" or "create nameservers based on domain" in your registrar help docs. Maybe you can contact internic/nsi directly instead (?). Back in the old days users just spread around copies of the hosts file. Have fun.
