If you need more than a caching-only nameserver, read the documentation in /usr/share/doc/bind-*/arm/Bv9ARM.html . If you can get access to a graphics terminal, using the 'system-config-bind' utility provides a GUI, with a facility to import /etc/hosts files. Also for any beginner to DNS needing to get into serious DNS configuration, the book 'DNS and BIND', Abitz & Liu, 2nd. Ed, by O'Reilly is a must. Let me know if you have any issues.
