I'll also recommend bind, though I'd suggest you take care to insure it's not available from the Internet -- either block external IPs from the DNS server, or do as I've done and place DNS on a box behind the firewall. You should also keep up-to-date with bind as it has a tendency to be compromised on a fairly regular basis. My own BIND configuration came together after reading the Cricket book (O'Reilly's DNS & BIND manual), paying particular care to the reverse-DNS lookup portions of the configuration. I'd had DNS access when querying from the server itself, but not from other boxen in my network. -- Karsten M.
