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

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.

AFAIK, dnsmasq only provides DNS caching services. Whereas the OP is looking to host a local domain - mxdomain.in which can only be done in a full-fledged DNS system such as Bind.
