I'll try.

By that, I assume that you mean you don't want to "become" a Domain Name
server. You then have several options:
- Create an /etc/resolv.conf file with the addresses of the name servers
you wish to _resolve_ to. (This is by far the easiest.)
- Run a "caching-only" name server. This means you will have all of the
functionality of a name server on the 3B2 in question, but that it will
not service requests from other machines. (Faster, but more complicated
to implement.)
If you just want basic name service, and don't mind a little delay on
queries, just throw a couple of lines in /etc/resolv.conf. It's very
easy to configure, and works automagically. Just REMEMBER to delete the
file if you ever want to run "named" on your 3B2.
