DNS implementation in a pure UNIX environment?

[sadfasdf afdsdf]

Thanks guys,

I understand the basics I just didn't ask the right
question I'm afraid...

What I'm looking for is a document on how to switch
from the hosts file name resolution to a DNS-based one
in a live, production environment.

What are the pitfalls and how to get every hosts to
suddenly change the name resolution without bringing
the whole network down.
If there's any case study than it would be really
great!

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

John
