It's usually just a case of installing the package & kicking it off. For
RH-type distros, you usually just do :-

yum install bind
chkconfig named on

Then update /etc/resolv.conf so that the "nameserver" line has "127.0.0.1"
in it.

The trickiest part is stopping things like NetworkManager from changing
resolv.conf every five seconds - chattr is your friend :-)
