A long time ago in net time (so around 1999) I wrote an article about setting up DNS. The article I wrote was terse to say the least. Recently I had the opportunity to work on a new DNS installation that grew to become somewhat complex. I decided to do a series on DNS covering the scope of what I have dealt with in hopes that it might help others. Although the scope I have dealt with is really mild; we have to start somewhere. In this first part of the series - an extremely simple DNS server with very few hosts is covered to get the feet wet.
