A 3000 can't (yet) be a DNS Server. It can "resolve" but not serve.
Hopefully this will change someday (i.e. if someone gets BIND ported).

A DNS "Server" can sit anywhere on your network as long as your clients
that need to use it can reach it (via a network tcp/ip or udp/ip connection).
If you have an NT server in the organization that's on the same network as
your other systems, put up a DNS server on it. If you have a Unix system
running anywhere on the network, then you've probably already got a DNS
server and just need to configure it and turn it on.

If none of the above, a pc running the freeware Linux operating system will
do a wonderful job as a nameserver.
