HI,

I am using MT 2.9.29 and want to create DNS server in that for internal cashing for my network.

Can someone explain me the steps for the same. and also let me know that i can put the same IP address to my machine as a primary DNS server.

What's the problem?
You can just set it...

primary-dns: 202.xxx.xxx.21
secondary-dns: 202.xxx.xxx.22
allow-remote-requests: yes
cache-size: 2048KiB
cache-max-ttl: 1w
cache-used: 20KiB

And yes, you add also static IP for DNS server

MT can not be a DNS server, it can only redirect DNS requests to somewhere else. It can also be a DNS cache, but not a DNS server.

Simply set the client's DNS to the address of your router and tell the router where a real DNS server is located (as valens suggested)
