This may seem like a "flip" answer, but it is the best advice I
can give you.

Step 1.  Delete the 4.9.7 distribution.  You don't want to start
a new project with the old version.

Step 2.  Go to the nearest technical bookstore, or amazon.com
and purchase a copy of "DNS and BIND" from O'Riley.  Read it!

Then, if you have any questions, post them here.

To gove you a good answer to this question would require that
I write a book.  It's already been done, and much better than
I could do it.
