Have you even read it ? I personally find the documentation
supplied with bind-9 superiour to any previous releases, and the
'arm-book' is even worth to be printed and used as 'paper-manual'.

As regards to your question, start reading the "arm-bok" at
chapter 1.4 "The Domain Name System" , continue with
chapter 3 "Nameserver Configuration" , which just happens to
start with a subchapter "Sample Configurations"

After reading this i'm shure you are able to cut-and-paste
together a working named.conf, and populate your
favorite directory with your zonefiles.
