Use BIND, and a proper place to ask. :)

If you are looking for something much simpler than bind, consider dnsmasq. Maintaining the DNS service is as simple as editing /etc/hosts (or another file, at your discretion) and hupping the server. If you are not doing anything fancy with DNS, just listing local hosts, this may be all you need.

  • +1 for dnsmasq. It can act as a DHCP server, too

Depending on the size of your organization's infrastructure, bind is definitely a solid base to build your DNS on. However, you will absolutely need to study up on DNS, how it works, and how to configure bind. It is not as simple as "How do I do this? Do x,y & z and you're done"

DNS really isn't that complicated. Grab an O'Reilly book or dig around on google for some how-to's and you could have it up an running with a simple setup in a matter of an hour.
