Running DNS service for SCAN in the openfiler VM

Guest OS : Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.3
Host OS : Windows 7 (64-bit ) with 16gb Physical RAM
Hypervisor : Virtual Box 4.2.6
Openfiler version : 2.99
Using virtualBox, I am setting up a 2-node RAC node on Oracle Linux.
I have a 3rd VM which runs openfiler ( NAS )
For using SCAN feauture, I would like to run a DNS service as mentioned in the article below
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/dns-configuration-for-scan.php
I don't want to run the DNS service in any of the two RAC nodes. Instead of creating a separate VM just for the DNS , I am thinking of running it in the Openfiler VM.
Openfiler is running in a Linux Distro called rPath. I am not sure if the packages mentioned in the above oracle-base.com article is available in this distro. Has anyone run a similair DNS service in the Openfiler OS ?
