As far as the ownership issue goes, I don't know - I am sure someone
else can enlighten you on this.

For DNS & BIND, I suggest you take some time to read through it.
Chapter 12, "nslookup and dig", introduces both of these tools. In my
paperback edition of the book, "Using dig" starts on page 398 and
explains how to use dig, and read its output (it's more or less just a
zone file - you can feed its output into BIND directly). Put simple:

$ dig [@server] [host] [rrtype] [options]

@server specifies that you wish to query "server", host gives the
*FQDN* you wish to look up - rrtype is just that, the RR type (like A,
SOA, MX, SRV etc - defaults to A except for IP addresses I belive).
The options should be explained in DNS & BIND and your ARM.
