1) Install
# Not 100% sure, I do not use Fedora a lot
yum install bind  

2) Configure the server.
# That's all, BIND is recursive by default. (It will change soon.)

3) Configure the clients # On every DNS client, point them to the new
server (on Unix, it means # editing /etc/resolv.conf). You can also
configure the client through DHCP or PPP.

If something fails: read the log file (probably /var/log/messages)
before everything.
