Here's what you do. Install the bind package. This is the dns server. Then read
the document which comes with the package, /usr/doc/bin/dns-setup.gz. It will
describe to you step-by-step what is necessary. Also, be aware that the internic
expects you to have a primary *and* secondary name server. There's some web page
somewhere to find people on the net who'll be a secondary for you (if you'll be a
secondary for them!).
