The problem is that DNS is a fairly complex subject.  You'll have to create
zone files for any domains that you want to serve, regardless of what server
software you wish to use.

If you really want to do this, I strongly suggest getting a copy of "DNS and
Bind" (O'Reilly, http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/dns4/).

For what it's worth, I really doubt that djbdns will ever make any serious
inroads into BIND's market share; BIND is Free Software, and djbdns is not.
