Ok, this is about a setup on a windows box for the prupose of learning from
scratch. I better say that flat out from the beginning not to offend anyone
since I have noticed it's happend far to easily before.
Hence, I am here to learn. Not to step on peoples toes, and if that is to
much, then I'm sorry but I not only want to learn, but I also have to
learn.
We all learn by different methods and I learn by taking an example and
breaking it own. Not by building an example from scratch without knowing
what I'm doing.
Thus I am asking anyone willing to put about 15 minutes of effort in, to
show me how to do this, so I can get something that may actually work, to
bounce around with on my own.
I have been told off before, because I am using a Win box to set this up
and play around with. I have been told by some in my city that they want
£1,000 to set up a box for me doing just what I outline below. (Some
horrendus people, but I guess it's their idea of making a living.)
What I simply need, to get in to this, may seem ridiculous to some, but
hey, it's my way of learning, and if we where all the same, it would be a
boring world to live in.
Enough of the appologetics and to the study case of mine...
This whole thing assumes I have run the installer on my XP can used for
studies of any kind. It's not a distribution example but just for practical
training anyway.
What I plan to achive: A Master (primary) DNS server setup
All names, zones and IP's are of course fictitious and for training
purposes only.

There are two domains.
MYMAINDOMAIN.COM
SECONDDOMAIN.COM
MYDOMAIN.COM has the following structure
NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM on 99.99.99.1
NS2.MYDOMAIN.COM on 99.99.99.2
MAIL.MYDOMAIN.COM on 99.99.99.1
MAIL2.MYDOMAIN.COM on 99.99.99.2
MYDOMAIN.COM on 99.99.99.1
FTP.MYDOMAIN.COM on 99.99.99.1
Of course, www.mydomain.com should also go to 99.99.99.1
The primary and secondary NS servers are self evident in this case.
I would also need a sample of the reverse lookup file for 1.99.99.99.in-
addr-arpa and 2.99.99.99.in-addr-arpa as well.
There is also the SPF record to consider.
"v=spf1 a mx ip4:99.99.99.1 ip4:99.99.99.2"
Now, the second domain have the following structure.
SECONDDOMAIN.COM is also located on 99.99.99.1
Subsequently www.SECONDDOMAIN.COM is there too.
FTP. SECONDDOMAIN.COM is also on 99.99.99.1
MAIL. SECONDDOMAIN.COM on 99.99.99.1
MAIL2. SECONDDOMAIN.COM on 99.99.99.2
The primary and secondary NS for this SECONDDOMAIN.COM is
NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM and NS2.MYDOMAIN.COM.
Also here is the SPF record to consider.
"v=spf1 a mx ip4:99.99.99.1 ip4:99.99.99.2"

Enough about the outline.
Could some kind soul please show me the contents and formatting of the
required files, and the named.conf file needed to start BIND 9.3.1
successfully, then I'll be out of everyones hair playing around by myself
until I know what I'm doing.
Sincerely.
A total newbie.
