Re: DNS Config

DNS client or DNS server?

For DNS client settings, see Chapter 17 (Network Settings) of RHEL 4 System Administration Guide:

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/4/html/System_Administration_Guide/ch-network-config.html

and/or Chapter 8.1 (Network Configuration Files) of RHEL 4 Reference Guide:

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/4/html/Reference_Guide/ch-networkscripts.html

You could also use these commands to view built-in configuration file documentation on the system:

man nsswitch.conf
man resolv.conf
man hosts


For DNS server configuration, I'd recommend reading a book from O'Reilly titled "DNS and BIND".

Alternatively see the documentation of the ISC BIND DNS server:
