I agree. I used this document and am a beginner to DNS also. It was a good straight forward read and I got my DNS working using it.
Note: RedHat 8 uses an include file in its named.conf - this is just to load the key just like the HOWTO which types it in directly in the file. I don't remember anything else that was different than just doing what the HOWTO said. Good luck!
