Ade,
If you feel like reading through DocBook XML, take a look at this:
http://www.simpaticus.com/linux/howto/xml/DNS-First-Steps.xml
This is still a DRAFT, so I suggest you do not bookmark it yet. I'm having
some trouble with my formatting tools which is why I don't have it in HTML
yet; that will probably take another day or two, and then I'll get it
properly moved into the http://www.simpaticus.com/linux section of my
website. I'll also keep making some improvements to it.
But at least it's there now if that helps you. It's very much a beginner
document (no clue required), and does nothing but describe some of the
concepts, terms, and basics such that a conversation about DNS, and the
documentation for BIND or any other DNS server software, will make more sense.
Cheers,
