We have used various techniques to make DNS honeypots. But there is
an easy to do "fake" DNS server using Net::DNS::Nameserver :

http://search.cpan.org/~olaf/Net-DNS/

You can even find a simple example in the POD :

http://search.cpan.org/~olaf/Net-DNS/lib/Net/DNS/Nameserver.pm

If you want to make a low-interaction nameserver, you can filter
the request and answer to limit the malicious queries but still gain
information by doing and logging the request but not sending
back them to the client.

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,
