Running a primary and a secondary server on the same machine is
worthless. Please read all the many times this has been discussed in
the archives. ;-)
The Linux DNS HOWTO is a worthwhile resource, as is ripe-192, "Simple
DNS Configuration Example"
<URL: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-192.html>.
Best is DNS and BIND, 3rd ed, Albitz & Liu, O'Reilly and Associates.
Supplement that with recent changes found in
<URL: http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/docs/>.
There are groups who seriously insist that security requires that you
run your DNS on a totally separate machine. If this is possible, it
certainly doesn't hurt.
