DNSits an excellent way to start. the handbook had tons of info on DNS if I
remember correctly which is where I got started with it from. basically what
you have to do in short is write zone files for forward and reverse for your
private network then set a forwarder to your ISP in your named.conf
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/dns.html
options {
    forwarders { 206.13.29.12; };
};
 for example
or you could just get the named.ca from internic and pull it from there
which is how I've always done it . the page I posted gives you pretty much a
start to finish on how to get bind going, its super easy.

  Good Morning,
  Here is my question.......My ISP hosts my DNS for routable addresses, I
would, however, like to set up a non-microsoft DNS server for my LAN, which
is using non-routable addresses....What is the best way to accomplishing
this? I do have a dual homed FreeBSD box set up behind my firewall,
functioning as a NAT box to provide internet access from the LAN....could
this box possibly be set up to respond to internal DNS queries, and forward
all others to the ISP's DNS server? If so, how is this configured? Please
excuse me if this is a newby question, I have zero experience with BIND or
any DNS server other than microsoft......however, I am interested in
banishing windoze, at least from the server room....I thought this might be
a good place to start.....
