RonRon- DNS is a vastly complicated topic, but I'd recommend grabbing yourself a copy of this[0a] and reading chapter 16 in its entirety, as well as the DNS section in the TCP/IP Guide[0b] (as published by NoStarch). Those should give you a good overview of DNS as a whole. There are also plenty of RFCs[1] detailing exactly how DNS works, but they aren't for the faint of heart. Once you understand the purpose and mechanics of DNS, at the very least in a general sense, you should understand what BIND does. If you're looking for the shortcut, look for references to "authoritative nameservers" and/or "authoritative nameserver software" (which is what BIND is). If you're looking to combine very simple authoritative DNS (or record replacement) in addition to recursive DNS resolution AND a DHCP server, I'd recommend looking into DNSMasq[2] as it does all these bundled into a small footprint package.
