I also have in named.conf:
listen-on {
127.0.0.1;
192.168.0.1; -- address of internal lan eth i/f
};
to make sure it ignores the outside world (and my mistakes are
less likely to escape).
Not sure about the rest, because I created a bogus internal domain
and populated it with my home PCs IP addresses. Which seemed like a
fun thing at the time (did I say that?) but in the end was a bit
overkill. The kids know the IP numbers of all the machines anyway.
The DNS howto (www.tldp.org) I think was what I mainly followed.
