what dns? client? server? sounds just like a client setup, so add "nameserver 1.2.3.4" to /etc/resolv.conf and that's it.

You are not clear whether you are configuring client or server.
If you configuring client then simply do the following steps:

vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver <youdnsip>
:wq

if you are configuring server then let me know i will reply again.

well please provide this sort of important detail in the future... so read up on bind, e.g. the bind howto at tldp.org and come back when you have specific questions.
