The 'search' directive of resolv.conf doesn't specify which servers to search, but what domains to search through. Example: if you specify two search domains
and do a lookup for the name 'baz', the resolver will look for
baz.
baz.bar.com.
baz.foo.bar.com.
Name servers, where the resolver should query about them, are specified by the 'nameserver' directive, eg
will query 192.168.0.2 first, and, if that's not reachable, 192.168.0.3.
For your server to be able to act as a name server, you'll have to install and configure the appropriate service. One of the most used is BIND, which should be available in the RHEL repositories.
Were able to set-up and configure Web,File and DHCP Services except for the
DNS set-up. Isn't it that to set up dns, we have to use BIND? In Web
Services, we were able to view the default page using the servers IP
address, our client wants to view it using or typing the address for example... (2 Replies)

getzone
GETZONE(1) getzone GETZONE(1)NAME
getzone - get dns zone from server
DESCRIPTION
getzone transfers a user-specified dns zone from a zone server and displays it in csv1 format on the standard output. This program is here
for compatibility with older setups that use getzone to get zone files; newer setups may wish to consider using the fetchzone tool to
obtain csv2-compatible zone files.
USAGE
getzone zone_name zone_server_IP [query_class]
OPTIONS
zone_name
Name of the dns zone to be transferred.
zone_server_IP
IP address of dns server
query_class
Optional argument which can change the query class from 1 (the default) to 255. This may be needed for some versions of Bind.
EXAMPLES
To obtain the zone example.com from the server 192.168.9.8:
getzone example.com 192.168.9.8
To obtain the zone example.org from the server 10.9.8.78 using a query class of 255:
getzone example.com 10.9.8.78 255
