newbie need help to configure own DNS

[Dave Henderson]

Bakshi,
    You will not be able to host any records for a domain unless you can either get your bind server to be the nameserver for the domain or adjust the records on the name server.  Can you do either of these?  Otherwise you are trying to configure a bind server that will never be seen by anyone.  If you are really interested in building experience with bind, go to a registrar such as netsol.com, enomcentral.com, yahoo.com, etc and register a domain name for under $25 a year.  It can be any name you like.  Once you have it registered, go back to the registrar and point the name servers to your local IP address.  Other than that, we can not help you.

So, what can you do with BIND, if you do not even have the authority
to point your domain to your BIND name server?

This is becoming quite strange.
