The Linux Cookbook (O'Reilly) by Carla Schroder has very good recipes for setting up a DNS server. Caching, public and private servers for both bind and djbdns are covered. You can also read it online here.

bind

A very nice tutorial for bind can be found here.

To install a bind caching name server, you can follow these steps. Note: This was done on CentOS 5.4 x86_64, so YMMV. 

Do this all as root.
  1. Install caching name-server
    • # yum -y install bind caching-nameserver
  2. Set named up to run after reboot. And start named
    • # chkconfig named on
    • # service named start
  3. Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the following above other entries
    • nameserver 127.0.0.1
  4. Test
    • # dig qmailtoaster.com | grep "^;; SERVER"
    • If you get ";; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)" then you're good to go.

djbdns

A very nice tutorial for djbdns can be found here.
