There's not too much to be knowledgeable about. It's not that hard. 
You can stumble across the way to do it by just clicking the mouse in 
the DNS Management snap-in tool.

If you absolutely need a hint: Assuming it's a forward zone and you 
want the MSDNS server to be secondary, right click on forward zones, 
select new zone and follow the wizard.


If you want BIND to be the slave, configure it the way you would for 
any other server. Should generally work. All the settings for 
securing zone transfers are a mouse click away on the properties in MSDNS.
