As far as I know GN/Hurd is in the experimental stages ,as are every microkernel (another example is Amoeba) but the future is of such kernels so you can only hav a bare basic installation, but once u contribute now the future will hav ur names written in golden letetrs ............... even the linux kernel in 90's started as a scratch..........

But from the machines inside your private network if you try to ping www.google.co.in it will give you the message ping: unknown host www.google.co.in This is because the machine itself does not know the presence of a DNS server to resolv the address. One does not have to run named (BIND) on individual systems. There are DNS servers which the ISP will be maintaining. But if you wish you can have one DNS server(named) in your network which forwards the requests to the ISP. One more thing is, it would be nice if you have NATing setup on you border box(the one that has squid in it).So that the private IP to public IP translation takes place. Doing this is very easy. All you have to do is run two lines in IPTABLES. So it is always a better option to configure the ISPs DNS IP in /etc/resolv.conf on all private machines too.And there is no need for running individual named servers on all machines.
