Hey,

I'm runing Debian etch with BIND9 on it. I'm following the

aboutdebian.com tutorial on DNS server. I'm intending to set up my

Desktop Debian box as the DNS server for the LAN  dns server and

Internet Name Resolution server(The IP address of the Desktop used in

preffered name server for each work station's TCP/IP configuration)

Just as an FYI, the "dnsmasq" package does a very good job of this and is easier to set up.  Learning how to manage BIND is a worthy goal in its own right, though.
