Here's an example of how I set up my own DNS for my local area network
(192.168.0.x).

In /etc/named.boot:
------------------------
       primary         pams                     pams.zone
       primary         0.168.192.in-addr.arpa   named.local2
-------------------------
(where "pams" is my internal domain name, e.g. my machine is
"exec.pams" -- best to substitute a totally bogus one like this).

in /var/named/pams.zone:
--------------------
IN SOA exec.pams. exec.shreve.net. (
                1989020504 ; serial
                10800      ; refresh
                3600       ; retry
                3600000    ; expire
                86400 )    ; minimum
        NS      exec.pams.
office A 192.168.0.1
exec A 192.168.0.2
; ... (other A records deleted)
----------------------------------------
In /var/named/named.local2:
--------------------------------------------
; reverse lookup of local hosts, sigh.
@       IN      SOA     localhost. root.localhost.  (
                                      1997022700 ; Serial
                                      28800      ; Refresh
                                      14400      ; Retry
                                      3600000    ; Expire
                                      86400 )    ; Minimum
              IN      NS      localhost.

1       IN      PTR     office.
2       IN      PTR     exec.
; ... (other IN PTR records deleted)
-----------------------------------------------------
Then do a "ndc restart" and voila.

All of this is very well explained in the DNS HowTo, by the way. That's
how I learned how to do it!
