Try the following:

http://www.cab.u-szeged.hu/LDP/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html
http://www.acmebw.com/askmrdns/
http://docs.sun.com/ab2/coll.47.8/NETNAME/@Ab2TocView?
http://www.stokely.com/unix.sysadm.resources/dns.email.security.html

BUT!

If the network is small and won't change much, it's _much_ easier to do all
the nameservice with /etc/hosts than it is to set up a DNS server.
