test network DNS server w/o Internet access: Is it possible?

[Robert Threet <rthreet@yahoo.com>]

I have a Slackware 8.0 box and I'm trying to set up a test network
with a bogus DNS server so that the three servers on this standalone
network can "think" that they are resolving their names.  Can this
work or do I have to have an Internet connection for the DNS server? 
Anything special need to be done (i.e. remove named.cache reference?)

For example:

www 10.1.1.1
mail   10.1.1.2
ns1     10.1.1.3

All three use ns1 for DNS.  It doesn't work (most likely the DNS
config).  

[P.S. - The "Why?"]  I'm doing a migration to new hardware that
requires the target have the same FQDN as the original.  I can't
install on the new system unless it resolves itself as the old name
and IP address.  Until I have the product installed, I can't (of
course) migrate the data.
