How to set dns in rhel4

Hi,

I would like to know on how to set up dns on my server running rhel 4, the purpose so other computers can look through this server(trial1) when they nslookup and so on..

I tried to put my server name(trial1) and ip address in /etc/resolv.conf but when I try on the other server to nslookup, it didnt succesful..
nb: this is only for my LAN only.. means, other pc or laptop or other machines can connect to this dns or reversable..

/etc/resolv.conf
Code:
search trial1
trial1 192.168.20.21

I thought by doin this it should allow other server to recoqnize my dns
sorry I'm quite new.. thanks in advance Smilie
