I strongly recommend the book "DNS and BIND" by Paul Albitz & Cricket
Liu, published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
You can get it at:

Here's a sample of the files required...
These files are supporting a private domain which uses NAT on a Cisco
762 router to access the net. They are not "live" in the same sense
that a "true" dot com domain would be but they work quite well
none-the-less.
cd /usr/local/named
ls
db.10.0.0 db.127.0.0 db.cache db.moongroup
#db.10.0.0
