scaryfish is on a distinguished road
Are you using Jag?

Under 10.2, they've made the DNS server already pretty much all set up for you. Just edit /etc/hostconfig to say
DNSSERVER=-YES-
and that's pretty much it.

Oh yeah, there's one other thing - You need to edit /System/Library/StartupItems/Named/Named and change the bit that says DNSSSERVER to DNSSERVER (note the extra 'S')
...somebody forgot to spellcheck...

Then just reboot and it should work. Also, a lot of the stuff this hint says is already done by apple - the /var/named stuff is already set up (even got a hints file already for you).
