The O'Reilly books are great, but they aren't the word of God either.
Why go through the hassle?  If you follow that advice, you've got to 
setup and maintain a nameserver when you could just point to one in 
etc/resolv.conf .  It doesn't take long for the queries (I've 
certainly never noticed any slowdown).

Just put two lines in etc/resolv.conf and you're done.  Here's what
mine says:

domain gatech.edu
nameserver 130.207.3.207
