First you need to edit the file c:\winnt\named.boot. It contains these following
lines :

directory      C:\\win32app\\bind
Where the file are located

zone files :
primary firstdomain.com db.zoneinfo
primary seconddomain.com db.secondzoneinfo

and reverse address-to-host mapping :
primary 235.6.195.in-addr.arpa  db.inaddr

the files db.xxx are these in which you're going to enter your records : A,
MX...
This example shows two different domains, each one in a separate file.
Don't forget the reverse mapping as well.

Hope this helps,
Pascal
