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.

DNS set-up. Isn't it that to set up dns, we have to use BIND? In Web
