Try starting with these:

http://www.dns.net/

I would also recommend the O'Reilly book - DNS and BIND.

You have to point the entries in /etc/resolv.conf file to your DNS server

dear sir,
additional question:
do we need to register our hmc, vio servers and nim server to dns server? do we need to make configuration at hmc, vio and nim server level. many thanks in advance
