When I go to Application|Add/Remove Software|Servers, DNS Name Server is already selected in the list to the right. However, I am not sure where to find the DNS GUI program so I can start editting the DNS server accordingly?
I don't use Centos but I think you may be confused between Software servers (also known as "Repositories") and a Domain Name Server (DNS)
