One way to stop this error is to edit /etc/resolv.cong and put his in it search your.domain nameserver 127.0.0.1 then restart named the next time you run nslookup it should show you default server: localhost address 127.0.0.1 this gives you a caching only name server. To configure a name server for your 192.168.1.0 range easily you can get webmin from http://www.webmin.com and use it if you want to avoid the hassle of creating zone files however I recommend setting up the files yourself that way you actually get to understand how it works exactly. basically you will need a zone file for the domain you're using on your network and a reverse file for reverse lookups of ips to names.
