I'm not familiar with what you call IP Table server, but I once had a 
network where several computers were connected to a switch, which in turn 
was connected to internet. In this case one of the computers has to be 
configured as a nameserver. You need bind for that. The other computers 
will have to use the computer where bind runs as their nameserver. I 
don't remembers details as this was many years ago, but I remember I had 
to use the ethernet port on the computer where bind runs as both etho and 
eth0:1 (or something like that). The configuration was a bit complicated 
at that time, but there may be some tools around nowadays which could 
make configuration easier. The easiest way is to replace the switch by a 
router ;-)
