Hi, John!

And, as usual for OpenBSD, you can find out a lot without leaving your
own computer. Besides the man pages (which have perhaps more info than a
beginner is looking for), there are the stock config files in
/var/named/etc/ to work from. Out of the box they'll give you a caching
name server, and have examples (commented out) for both master and slave
zones.

To get it started on boot:
# echo named_flags= >> /etc/rc.conf.local

Then have your dhcp server give out the right address to clients.

Besides web tutorials, there's the ORA book "DNS & BIND" and others.
