The standard e-smith installation already does DNS for internal machines, and does DNS forwarding as well, if configured to use external DNS servers.
We currently have no plans modify the server software to provide primary public DNS service. This would go well beyond our design philosophy which is to provide a solution which is as simple and reliable as possible.
We expect our target customers to buy primary DNS services from a professional service provider. The process of domain name registration and delegation and setting up of primary and secondary DNS servers is beyond what we can automate reliably.
There's nothing to stop a third part making an add-on module to set up primary or secondary DNS service for a domain or domains, but that will only be a small part of the process of setting up a domain.
