I have a reasonable, if basic, understanding of DNS, i.e. the different types of record, their functions and structure. I need to set up my own nameserver on my vps to be the authoritative server for a domain which will be hosted on my other bitfolk vps. I am running them on Lenny. Does anyone know of a good guide on the web to doing this? I don't just want to go through Google as I would trust your recommendations more.
 
Many thanks
