If you really want to the nameserver to run on your machine (I don't
think you do) then you edit /etc/inittab.  There is a line

	"net0:2:off:/etc/named /etc/named.boot....."

that you change the "off" to "wait" as it indicates.  Then you read the named
man page for setting up your /etc/named.boot file.

However, if you are in the same situation as I, you want to use the name
server on someone elses machine and let them maintain the hosts file.  In
this case you create /etc/resolv.conf to look like this:

domain ?????.?????
nameserver ??.??.??.??

the man page on resolver(4) tells more.
