<div>The other thing is, you mention having tried and failed (agreed that isn't a bad thing, we've all failed countless times and it's how we learn)...how have you failed?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I think you'll find is you have a list (many lists and other resources really) of mentors. BIND much like many other Internet projects has a helpful community. As asked below, you could start by describing your goals or use cases, then share what
hasn't worked so far or where you're stuck, as well as sharing your config and any errors you're getting in logs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You might have to adopt some paths based on your OS, or make other small modifications based on what you are trying to accomplish, but this is a good resource to get you started:</div>

<div>First of all, why you want to run a full featured DNS server such as BIND9 at your home?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do you want to make some special things? Do you want to publish a zone on the Internet? Do you have a DNS name acquired from your country registration authority?</div>
