For small time home use, you might find dnsmasq more suitable. Local
zone records are read from /etc/hosts and served via DNS. Anything else
is passed to some other caching resolver, such as your ISP's
nameserver. BIND is far more powerful and complex.

_DNS_and_BIND_ is generally recommended as the definitive work. Older
revisions might be found online. I however think you might find the
BIND 9 ARM useful, except it does little to explain the basics of DNS.
You probably got that with your copy of BIND: look for "Bv9ARM.html".
