[Sheflug] Guide to setting up DNS server

["Chris Johnson" <chris [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've decided to set up a DNS server for our network.  However having looked
at the bind (9) documentation I'm a still confused.  Although we have a
domain hosted at the ISP seseaz.org.uk I'd like the office machines to be in
a private domain (there is no need for external PCs on the internet to
access our office PCs) so I thought I'd use a domain name like seseaz.org.
I've got a NT server (Server1), a linux server (Linuxserver) and about 8
office PCs.

Bind documentation (and webmin) go on about different Zones but its all
going over my head at the moment.  I did have a quick go at setting it up
but switching my PC to use the local DNS didn't work.

Does anyone know of a good tutorial on DNS ??

Files I'm having trouble with are

named.conf
local.zone
localhost.zone
192.168.100.zone

(I think)
