CentOS - Jun 2007 - BIND Help

I just installed CentOS5 on my server and I have to get everything
working on it. I chose to clean load it upgrading from RHEL3 to
CentOS5.

I'm having trouble understanding the way bind works now and was
wondering if anyone has a bit of time to help me with it.

I am starting from scratch and I only have my primary domain and one
additional domain I host.

Thanks.

IMNSHO they really 'altered' BIND setup from 4.x.  After much kicking 
around, I actually reinstalled Centos 5 and started
anew.

Do you understand BIND 9.x?  Do you want to implement DNS 'views'?  Do 
you need dDNS?

Are you handling your reverse lookup (arpa.in)?

Quick recommendation:

INSTALL EVERYTHING for BIND.  This includes for a caching server and 
system-config-bind.

Then install Webmin (www.webmin.com)  and use Webmin to set yourself up.
