I want to set up my own DNS... it can't be that hard. I am really looking
for an existing file for a simple domain that I can copy and modify.... I am
planning on using BIND 9, but am totally flexible..

More information on my setup: I would like to start with one domain. I have
a block of 5 ip addresses at my disposal. I have like three or four machines
that have distinct addresses. I name them by cereals... so I have:

fruitloops.mydomain.com
luckycharms.mydomain.com
cheerios.mydomain.com
capncrunch.mydomain.com

I would like www.mydomain.com to point to fruitloops.... a few other simple
mappings... I am currently using Dotster DNS for my domain, but I'd like to
do it all in house... It's not that difficult of a setup. I'd eventually
love to throw some additional domains into the mix, but somehting this
simple would be awesome...

Help me out. Point me to the way.... I am a hacker... I love to have zero
original thoughts and propogate from others and modify.... Help!

Thanks,
