system-config-bind is even worse: after installing all those packages 
for dependency:

  alsa-lib audiofile avahi avahi-glib esound gamin gnome-keyring 
gnome-mime-data gnome-mount gnome-python2 gnome-python2-bonobo 
gnome-python2-canvas gnome-python2-gnomevfs gnome-vfs2 libart_lgpl 
libbonobo libbonoboui libdaemon libgnome libgnomecanvas libgnomeui 
libxslt pyorbit shared-mime-info

  it doesn't work because is still missing xorg-x11-xauth (with it's 
dependency libXmu) and some fonts (which bring to the system another 
full load of packages).

I find confusing to have a server application (tomcat5) needed on a 
desktop environment and the other way around desktop applications needed 
to manage an headless server (what do I need audio for, on my dns 
server????)
