Do you have access from your server to other root servers or not, because some how your question is not clear what you need to do

There is no internet acess in any servers or clients.Only thing required all the clients should be able to resolve the server name Locally

Seems to me like you just need to install bind and get it going. This Howtoforce article gives some basics on setting up bind9 on Fedora 8.

if all you want is to install bind then install using using rpm
then start named
then rndc status it will tell you if it is up and running
also be careful of the version you are using the config is diff

If using bind, you'll need a Fully Qualified Domain Name and probably internet access....

I'd recommend either coming up with a neat script that pulls all the host names on your network and puts them into a hosts file... OR... setup Samba as a WINS server.
