Hi,

If you follow the default installation instructions for the 
6.2 installer, it installs athena-bind, and runs it on boot.

However, it won't ever be used, as the settings in /etc/resolv.conf
point it to the name server used during the install, which is w20ns if
you follow the instructions.  Something during the install should
change the settings so they'll be set to 

 search MIT.EDU 
 nameserver 127.0.0.1 

when install is finished.

I've not checked, but I'd guess that the second network settings
dialog (in the X portion of the install) would be the place to do
this.
