DNS newbie requires pointers to good tutorials!

How can I setup a DNS servers to hold my registered domain names, for my web
servers. I wish to do this myself and wondered if any of you would be so
kind to point out any guides and/or tutorials even a good book. Many I have
seen only deal with DNS servers for caching etc.

also I wish to host a friends companies domain name on my dns servers,
obviously his ip address is not in my range. so I guess I need to make a mx
record for his email server and a new Host Record for is web sever and emal
server?

many thanks
