Does any one know how to set up a dns server on

I run an apache server and at the moment I have to
give the IP address i.e. http://1.1.1.1/ but

Don't do that.  Use addresses from one of the subnets reserved to private
networks - e.g. 192.168.x.x

http://linuxmachine/ would be much better!!

If that's all you need, you can just enter it in /etc/hosts on machines
that need to know that name - no need for a DNS server.

Otherwise, it's too complex for a brief on-list answer, but you may
well find a modern implementation friendlier than the classic BIND
(from the early days of Unix).  I use djbdns from http://cr.yp.to/
