Note: Our IP range is 192.168.0.0/24
This instruction set is based upon this range. Therefore anywhere you see this number, you may replace with your IP range.

1. CD into working dir

   user@box:/# cd /etc/bind

2. Backup the origininal

   ?user@box:/# cp named.conf.local named.conf.local.orig
   ?user@box:/# cp named.conf.options named.conf.options.orig

3. Create the zone.

   user@box:/etc/bind$ vi named.conf.local
   //
   // Do any local configuration here
   //
   
   // Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your
   // organization
   //include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";
   
   # ZONE DEFINITION
   zone "corp.h8n.com" {
   	type master;
   	file "/etc/bind/zones/corp.h8n.com.db";
   	};
   
   # ZONE DEFINITION FOR REVERSE DNS
   zone "0.168.192.corp.h8n.com" {
   	type master;
   	file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.0.168.192.corp.h8n.com";
   };

4. Modify the forwarder. Define the DNS(s) to which this DNS will forward requests it can’t process

   user@box:/etc/bind$ vi named.conf.options
   options {
   	directory "/var/cache/bind";
   
   	// If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
   	// to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple
   	// ports to talk.  See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113
   
   	// If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable 
   	// nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.  
   	// Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing 
   	// the all-0's placeholder.
   
   	// forwarders {
   	// 	0.0.0.0;
   	// };
   
      forwarders {
         8.8.8.8;
         4.2.2.1;
         4.2.2.2;
      };
   	auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035
   	listen-on-v6 { any; };
   	listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.0.0/24; };
   };

5. Add the zone definition files

   root@box:/etc/bind# mkdir zones
   root@box:/etc/bind# cd zones

   root@box:/etc/bind/zones$ vi corp.h8n.com.db
   
   ;
   ; DNS zone for corp.h8n.lan
   ;
   $ORIGIN corp.h8n.com.
   $TTL 1D
   ; any time you make a change to the domain, bump the
   ; "serial" setting below. the format is easy:
   ; YYYYMMDDI, with the I being an iterator in case you
   ; make more than one change during any one day
   corp.h8n.com. IN SOA cmlin01.corp.h8n.com. dnsadmin.corp.h8n.com. (
   20120725;
   28800;
   604800;
   604800;
   86400;
   )
   ; cmlin01.corp.h8n.lan serves this domain as the name server (NS)
   corp.h8n.com. IN NS cmlin01.corp.h8n.com.
   
   ;
   ; Define domain functions with CNAMEs
   ; <cname> CNAME <hostname>
   ;

   nfs IN CNAME nas
   ;
   ; Define our hostnames for static IP's
   ;
   printer.corp.h8n.com. IN A 192.168.0.10
   nas.corp.h8n.com. IN A 192.168.0.20
   cmlin01.corp.h8n.com. IN A 192.168.0.26

   cmosx04.corp.h8n.com. IN A 192.168.0.34
   cmwin03.corp.h8n.com. IN A 192.168.0.36
   cmosx05.corp.h8n.com. IN A 192.168.0.37
   
   ; Just in case someone asks for localhost.corp.h8n.lan
   localhost IN A 127.0.0.1

6. Reverse Pointers. NOTE: The IP is a reverse of hte range we use.
   Our range is 192.168.0.0/24 so the file is 0.168.192…

   cmuser@cmlin01:/etc/bind/zones$ more rev.0.168.192.corp.h8n.com 
   ;
   ; This is our reverse DNS zone file
   ;
   
   ;$ORIGIN 0.168.192.corp.h8n.com.
   $TTL 1D
   corp.h8n.com. IN SOA cmlin01.corp.h8n.com. dnsadmin.corp.h8n.com. (
