As usual a serious system administrator should start by reading the original RFCs which established DNS protocol.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html

At the request of Jon Postel, Paul Mockapetris invented the Domain Name System in 1983 and wrote the first implementation. The original specifications appear in RFC 882 and RFC 883. You should probably also look RFC 1034 and RFC 1035 which updated the original RFCs.


After that one should make an inform decision which particular implementation of DNS server wants to use (Based on many factors) and then after that dig into documentation for that particular peace of software which will be used.
Sorry that it came sounding weird. I was just trying to give the OP some documentation (in case he overlooked it).
