You need to create a DB file for your domain.  It should look something
like:

$TTL 1D
@ IN SOA ns.quadtrax.net. sysop.quadtrax.com. (
         2001070901 ; Serial
	 1H ; Refresh
         1H ; Retry
         1W ; Expire
         1H ) ; NegCache TTL
  IN NS ns.quadtrax.net.
  IN MX 10 mail.quadtrax.net.
www IN A 1.2.3.4
mail IN A 1.2.3.4

Replace the 1.2.3.4's with appropriate IP addresses for these servers.  Add
additional A records for other services.  Name this file db.quadtrax.net.

Then you need to add a "zone" entry to the named.conf file to tell it to
read this DB file:

zone "quadtrax.net" {
  type master;
  file "db.quadtrax.net";
};
