I have a 5000/133 here doing just that. For a beginner (like me) the
easiest thing is to use the h2n (perl) script to take a hosts file and
convert it into the database files needed. The O'Reilly DNS and BIND book
is a lot of help also (just make sure you get the newer one that covers
BIND 8 and not juts 4)
