Basically, edit /etc/rc.conf and add named_enable="YES", run
"/etc/rc.d/named start" (you only have to do this if you don't want to
reboot), then edit /etc/resolv.conf and add a "nameserver 127.0.0.1"
line in front of any nameserver lines you may already have.
If you are behind a firewall that blocks DNS requests except to
specific servers, you may have to edit /etc/namedb/named.conf and
uncomment/edit the forwarders block to tell named to forward requests
to those servers.
