There are very good HOWTO's for both ipchains (which provides IP-MASQ) and 
setting up BIND for DNS services.  Webmin (should you be able to install 
it) should be able to generate all of the config files for bind and make 
it fairly easy.  I'd suggest looking at the Linux Documentaion Project for 
some good starters.  http://en.tldp.org/
