ok so ive been looking around a little trying to learn how to add some zones to my dns server on ubuntu hardy heron server.
ive looked around google and havnt found anything that looks very solid. Some look like they might work and others i just dont know. figured i would check back with you guys. Any protips? thanks in advance!
Bind9 DNS zones
just woke up so my head is kinda slow, but I found some info that you could use until either someone else writes you a how to, or until I have gotten something to eat ^^
If you want to jump right to adding zones, you can read this
zones: http://www.howtoforge.com/traditional_dns_howto_p2
and this
zone file: http://www.howtoforge.com/traditional_dns_howto_p3
but if you feel like starting from the beginning which is almost recommended, you should go here, and follow the pages.

bind is a little tricky in context with security, of course it's not that dangerous when running it on a home server that is not online 24/7, but you might also have a look at this:

EDIT: i was looking at those links you sent me BB. i think i may be on the edge of something lol
heres what that explanation says. it shows me a zone file and defines some basic stuff in it. im trying to disect it and this is how im reading it. first ill show the file lol
mail.linux.bogus is the mail server with an ip of 192.168.196.4
