Newbie DNS on Red Hat 6.0

[Shane Hall]

I need to know how to set up a nameserver for a domain name that I
have registered.  I've tried the how-to and a couple other "step by
step" guides, but with little success (at best I just begin to think I
understand it, then get lost again...;-).  

I know some of the basics, but if someone could either tell me exactly
what config files I need OR point me to a resource where I could find
some intelligible information about DNS (from a non-dns guys'
perspective...) from the ground up, I would be eternally grateful.

P.S.  This is driving me CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
