BIND is a beast.  Actually, if you are just setting up a caching server 
to speed up requests, that's pretty easy.  Being authoritative for a 
domain, however, is a different story.  Not impossible by any means, but 
DNS is complex, and people don't tend to have a lot of experience with 
it.

As usual, O'Reilly has a good book.
