On Redhat it's pretty simple; all the rpm packages are on the installation
cdroms, so you can install them automatically when you build the system.

Basically, you install the caching-nameserver and bind rpm packages (if 
they're not already installed), start the named service, and set 
/etc/resolv.conf to use it:

    rpm -ihv bind*.rpm caching-nameserver*.rpm
    /etc/init.d/named start

In /etc/resolv.conf:

    nameserver 127.0.0.1
