[Fedora-directory-users] Does fedora-ds server need to be a DNS server too?

[Ted Toth]

I'm all new to this and I've read conflicting posts about prereqs of 
fedora-ds with some indicating that the server must also be a DNS 
server, is this true?

Maybe this is old, maybe I've misunderstood?

It looks like that is a HowTo for setting up DNS and Fedora DS.  The DNS 
set up is not required, but it looks like it could be very useful if you 
do need to set up DNS.

Well, that isn't an 'official' FDS document, but reading it I
suspect the
author wanted to tell you how to install a DNS server, assuming perhaps
that you wouldn't already have one or perhaps trying to emulate Microsoft
Windows Server install process (which also likes to have you install DNS and
LDAP at the same time).  The document nowhere actually says that you
_need_ to have the DNS server on the same box, and of course you don't.
