Sorry, that's probably not the answer you're looking for :)  In a hurry 
doing other things I don;t understand - Let me try to be a bit nicer, 
sorry for being schmuck.

This is the DNS HOWTO I normally refer to.  It should get you up an going.  
If you need more knowledge than that I suggest getting a copy of the 
O'Rielly 'DNS & Bind' Book.  It may be availible in Safari.  DNS is a big 
pile of scaryness one you try to advanced features, but at the core, it's 
fairly basic.

In order to do IP-MASQ (aka NAT) you need to use either the older style
ipchains (circa kernel-2.2 but still compatible in 2.4) or the much better
iptables/netfiler that is present in 2.4.  Rusty Russell wrote much of
iptables for linux and his site is rich with informaation, including the
FAQ which has a three line guide to MASQ'ing :) http://www.netfilter.org/

Again, sorry for being sort.. the semester is starting on Thursday and I 
haven't even been able to setup the new images for machines yet..
