Uhm. Having your own domain doesn't require a nameserver.

If you do really want to (must?) run a nameserver, that system must stay available, so linux is the obvious choice.

The last platform you'd want to run nameserver on is amiga, even windows make more sense.

webserver definitely does not require nameserver(s).

Well, in that case look into aminet, search for named and bind.

Here's a good reason to have your own nameserver: It's LIGHTNING fast. You wouldn't believe how much faster web serfing is when you have your own private active nameserver instead of using the same one 400 other cable subscribers are using.

Running full nameserver just for caching is a bit silly. The TCP/IP stack already provides built-in cache, and if that's not enough there are way better dedicated caching daemons, for example pdnsd.

There's also OpenDNS which pretty much is the 2nd fastest option after your ISP's local nameservers (which typically are the fastest anyway).
