got it installed, starts on boot with apache, but how do i configure it?

Is thee an easy way or do i have to stay up for countless nights?


EDIT: Would webmin do something to help, i dont know how to use it.

I'm a big fan of [url=http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/]this[/url it's not finished yet but there is enough there to get a pretty comprehesive bind setup on the go, including dynamic updates from a dhcp server.

I don't advise using webmin for anything, I used it once to add a cron job and instead of once a week the job ran once a minute. The interfaces for configuring the complex config files like apache and proftpd are a mess and the simple configuration files are easy to configure by hand.
