1. Buy ``The Complete FreeBSD, 2nd Edition'' and ``TCP/IP Network
Administration.''
2. Install FreeBSD on the target box.
3. Enable named in /etc/rc.conf.
4. Set up named's zone and config files as described in TCP/IP Network
Administration. The named files are in /etc/namedb/. Don't forget to
set up the reverse zone files and run `make-localhost'!
5. Modify /etc/resolv.conf and add a line `nameserver 127.0.0.1'.
6. Restart your system or start named.
7. Enjoy your new nameservice.
