DNS and HTTP on the same machine

I only have one machine and I need to have a HTTP server and a DNS server. Is it possible (easy) to have both on the same machine? Is it recommended? How?

I have 3 static ips to use...
 
You already asked this question. If you didn't like my answer, why not just bump the thread you already started instead of cluttering the forum?

If I recall correctly, you need 2 systems to get DNS to properly setup. One is the main DNS server and the other is the secondary DNS server. The secondary server basically holds a duplicate copy of the main DNS server's data. It automatically updates itself every once in a while (set in the software).

You can run a HTTP server either of the systems that are running DNS, but I would HIGHLY recommend using the secondary server to run the HTTP services on. DNS can get VERY network and CPU intensive, which would affect your HTTP services.
