[TriLUG] Help with caching dns server

[Roy Vestal]

We have a few machines at the house (a desktop, 2 laptops, etc) that I 
want to use a local dns server vs the time-warner dns server. I was 
hoping to add to it, the local IP's of the web server and then add cname 
(or something similar) to the dns server so that when the machines 
grabbed dhcp, the dns would supply those so I *wouldn't* have to update 
/etc/hosts everytime.
